Funny coincidence – saw this very similar, perhaps more polished variant of the idea trending on twitter today: https://twitter.com/fronseneca/status/1752125155667824764?s=...

I saw this work a while ago, they posted some early demos roughly when we were first opening up with our Linux index. While the interface is indeed similar, I'd say as things stand now we are different in a couple of dimensions.

First, we pre-build a codebase-wide index for large repos that's readily available vs some kind of local VSCode plugin.

Secondly, we cover different languages. We started with deep support for C/C++ based on clang while they seem to be focused on TypeScript.

I'm curious why you'd say that theirs is more polished?

could be the animations, hard to tell if its live or prerecorded with jank removed but the visual they post is very fluid and responsive. If that's the life performance that app is pretty fast.

Interesting they just posted an update to X this morning https://twitter.com/fronseneca/status/1787559698826244188
