Hi HN, I’m Ryan, a student and solo dev.

I built PushPilot because I was tired of the "context-switching tax". Whenever a client or PM finds a UI bug—like a misaligned button or the wrong hex code—they usually send a screenshot. I have to stop my deep work, find the file in my repo, fix the CSS, and open a PR. It’s a lot of friction for such a small change.

What it actually does: It bridges the gap between the browser and your source code. You click the element on the live site, tweak it in a mini-inspector, and PushPilot opens a Pull Request in your GitHub repo with the code fix already written.

About the Safety & Permissions: I know giving a new tool GitHub access is a big ask. I've focused on keeping it as safe as possible:

Scoped Permissions: It only asks for access to the specific repos you choose.

No Auto-Merge: It only opens a PR. It never touches your main branch directly. You still have to review and hit "Merge" yourself.

Transparent Code: The PR shows you exactly what lines were changed so there are no surprises.

Why it’s cheap right now: I literally just put this live, and I want it to be a tool that freelancers can just "grab and go". I’m charging $9/mo for the solo plan because I’d rather have 100 people using it and giving me feedback than 5 big companies paying more. Since my run costs are extremely low, I don't feel the need to charge a premium while I'm still learning.

It currently works best with React and Tailwind, as that's my own stack. I’d love for you to try it out and tell me if the workflow makes sense or if I’m over-engineering a simple problem.

Why it’s cheap right now: Honestly, I just deployed this, and I want it to be something that a freelancer can just "grab and go."

My run costs are super low, so I don’t need to charge a premium while I’m still learning.

It’s also optimized for React and Tailwind, just because those are what I’m using. I’d love for you to give it a shot and let me know if it makes sense or if I’m over-engineering something super simple.
