What RFC123 is

RFC123 is a tool for reading and reviewing RFCs, which are written proposals that seek feedback on decisions, their tradeoffs, and implications. RFC123 works with RFCs written as markdown files in GitHub pull requests. It renders those pull requests as readable documents, attaches inline comments to specific lines, and surfaces daily review queues. RFC123 operates on top of your existing GitHub repositories.

Your account

You sign in to RFC123 with your GitHub account. We use the access GitHub grants us only to operate the service on your behalf: listing repositories and pull requests you can already see, posting comments and reviews you write, and, if you opt in, delivering review summaries to Slack.

Your content

Your RFCs, comments, and reviews live in your GitHub repository. You own them. RFC123 does not claim any rights over them. If you stop using RFC123, everything you wrote remains in your git history exactly where you left it.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use RFC123 to host or distribute illegal content, malware, or material you do not have the right to share.
• Harass, abuse, or spam other RFC123 users or third parties via the service.
• Use RFC123 in a way that violates GitHub’s or Slack’s terms of service.
• Attempt to bypass authentication, rate limits, or access controls.

We may suspend or terminate access if we reasonably believe these terms have been broken.

Beta status

RFC123 is in beta. We may add, change, or remove features as we learn what works.

Pricing

RFC123 is free while we’re in beta. If we introduce paid plans, we will give advance notice and let you decide whether to continue.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The version on this page is always the current one. Material changes will be communicated where it makes sense, typically via the email associated with your GitHub account or a notice in the app.
