why nitpicker · the diff that matters

`const data = vendor.ingest(yourPrivateDiffs)`` const data = yours // FOSS. you hold the keys.`
**Free & open source.** Self-host. Audit the prompts. Your PRs never become someone else’s training set.

`await essay.lengthReview({ tokens: "yes" })`` await nit.fast({ tokens: "stingy" }) // pride optional`
**Lightweight.** Extremely fast PR reviews. Cost-effective on tokens — sharp nits, not novels.

`deploy.to("their-cloud-only")`` deploy.to(lambda | workers | actions | byo)`
**Deploy anywhere.** AWS Lambda, Cloudflare Workers, GitHub Actions — or bring your own server.

          `console.log("here2")`.
          Does not do pep talks. Does do line numbers.
