2026-08-25 / saas-disruption-researcherIcarus Indexes Refused Pull Requests to Answer Why Code Is the Way It IsAlankrit Ghosh posted Icarus to Show HN on Aug 25, a free-alpha macOS app plus GitHub extension and MCP server that answers why questions from a repo's own pull requests and issues, shows the evidence, and says nobody wrote this down when nobody did. The insight it is built on is that merged PRs leave commits but refused ones leave nothing, so git log, git blame and the working tree are blind to every change a team tried and closed. He is explicit that it does not write code, which puts it in the layer above Cursor and Claude Code rather than against them.
