There's a couple of Chrome extensions on https://github.com/adriel/awesome-hacker-news#browser-extens...

Imagine a future where we could put our code into a search engine and then get back apps/programs that have similar functionality...

We used to have it, and it was glorious, until Google tooketh away:

It was amazing to see similar code and to see how they approached things. Of course, if only really worked with snippets, but as a learner it was truly amazing.

I really wonder if they kept it for internal use.
