The issue with actual source being uploaded is going to be a deal breaker with a _lot_ of corporations. People will use it for stuff that's already OSS, no problem, but not for the proprietary stuff they may get paid to work on. Is there any possibility of processing the code on the client side so that what you upload is not the source, but just the data structures necessary for the index, such that the code itself could not be reproduced from what you have stored on your servers?
- odbol_ 11y agoI agree. Why would they even need to upload/store the whole file? It seems like it's basing the suggestions on the line you're typing at that moment, so it doesn't seem that hard to just throw away the history immediately, and only deal with the 1-3 lines you're currently typing.
