I've had similar motivations. Since becoming a Trainee, I've found the review
process to be rather painful. I think the slow and klunky tools we use are a
big problem and likely contribute significantly to the burnout this team sees.

It sounds like we have similar ideas--a bit of automated review, and more
convenient manual review.

I started a similar effort when I first became a trainee. Unfortunately, a lot
of our non-trainees seem to be burned out, which means no reviews, and no
reviews means a lack of confidence in whatever system I'm building.
I can handle basic UI design and know a couple people that are very good at it.
I'm also able to host some infrastructure for what I have in mind. Can you
share the source you've been working on? I'm currently turning my notes into
something a bit more intelligible.
