Hacker News Reader

All I want is a Wiki search.... pretty please. Wiki file uploads (images) at very minimum that aren't commited to git. The process now is to create an empty issue, drag the file over, copy the URL and paste it into the Wiki page.

Why not ditch the Gollum wiki and just use the main git repo with relative links? It also renders markdown files. https://github.com/blog/1395-relative-links-in-markup-files

I'd love to be able to search in branches. Especially on projects that commit to master and have release branches when they are between releases.

Well, as long as we're discussing search wish lists, I'd love case-sensitive search.

Just an FYI, my product solves yours and your parent post wish:

http://gitsense.github.io/

Search/code management metrics are done at the branch level and there will be case-sensitive searches. The indexers are already building case sensitive indexes, it's just that it hasn't been enabled.

Unfortunately I can't say when the indexer will be available for private use at the moment.

Edit:

Forgot to mention that because the indexing is done at the branch level, searching across branches to verify what is/isn't present is pretty trivial like the following example:

http://gitsense.github.io/images/gitsense-on-4.png

Looks interesting.

I'll return the FYI and let you know it wasn't immediately obvious that there were arrows I could click on to see what else it was your product can do.

Thanks for the feedback. I've had a sneaky suspicion that people weren't really getting a full idea of what the product does. I've been meaning to add more visual cues like dots on top of the image to indicate that there are multiple pictures/feature highlights.

I'm not sure the dots would provide more of a visual cue either.

What's wrong with separating the descriptive text from the images, and making people scroll down to read more?
