I still think I have different (lighter) needs when skimming code online. I do think an IDE would be the ideal solution. What I saw the parent looking for is a middle-ground, maybe you have something like VSCode, but cull out compilation, editing, and debugging to it loads more quickly. > That "digging" is what I am talking about. Those are examples I gave are where I don't need to navigate the codebase. The answer is in a single file. So far I manage with the current web interfaces. Locally, I'd use grep and vi. GitHub works ok, but it's hard (but possible) to compare versions or jump between files. Using Google Code or SourceForge I have trouble finding the "Browse" button to even find the code.
