Profer vs GitHub Issues
Share agent work without exposing your codebase
Profer vs GitHub Issues
GitHub Issues work for internal teams. But they require repo access and expose your codebase.
The comparison
| Profer | GitHub Issues | |
|---|---|---|
| No repo access needed | Yes | No — needs repo access |
| External reviewers | Anyone with URL | Only repo collaborators |
| Structured feedback | 4 question types | Free-form comments |
| Agent reads feedback | Via MCP get() | Via GitHub API |
| Rich HTML content | Full HTML support | Markdown only |
| Codebase exposure | Zero | Full repo visible |
When GitHub Issues don't fit
- Contractors who shouldn't see the repo
- Clients who don't have GitHub accounts
- Cross-team reviews where the other team doesn't need repo access
- Non-technical reviewers (PMs, designers, executives)
- Content that isn't code (reports, proposals, specs with charts)
Profer complements GitHub
Profer doesn't replace GitHub Issues for code-related work. But for sharing agent-generated artifacts with people outside your repo, it's purpose-built.
