Sourcegraph CEO here. It is for reading code. It gives you the full power of an editor (jump-to-def, hovers, find references, advanced search, symbol search, cross-repo references, etc.) for any repo at any commit on GitHub. It supports Go and Java right now, with some more languages in beta.
If you find yourself reading code on GitHub a lot, or cloning repos to open and read in your editor, you'll find it useful. If not, then you probably won't find it useful, but you might like our Chrome extension, which adds these features inline on GitHub.com (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sourcegraph-for-github/dgjhfomjieaadpoljlnidmbgkdffpack?hl=en https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sourcegraph-for-gi...).
- sydd 9y agoLook really nice. What other languages are in beta? Any plans for python or JS support?
- sqs 9y agoThanks! The next languages will be TypeScript, JavaScript, Swift, and Python. You'll see some TS and JS support in the Chrome extension already. If you want to shoot me an email at sqs@sourcegraph.com, I'll make sure you hear about it when Python and JS support is released more widely.
- robzyb 9y agoThis is really cool. I might need to build a IDE soon, and I briefly looked at using VS Code for a base, but determined that it was a bit of overkill for my purposes. Out of curiosity, what was Sourcegraph running prior to this in-browser VS Code?
- sqs 9y agoBefore this, we were using a little bit less of VS Code. Before that, we had a much more minimal but custom frontend.
- felixsanz 9y agoReally cool project!
- singham 9y agoAmazon will surely buy you once your product matures. I can see that happening.
