If indexers were to be maintained separately, the only thought I have is something based on an IDE like Eclipse or IntelliJ, or something based on SourceGraph. To that end, I think open sourcing will do more to support usage, and usage would drive further licensing/support... It’s possible there could be add-ons sold to help refactor code or maybe a web-based version, perhaps merging with SourceGraph as a client? Or use in code review? Lots of possibilities, perhaps, just not easily/quickly commercial I would think without further development first.

- xvilka 7y agoIt makes more sense to integrate [1] with GitHub Semantic [2] library instead. [1] https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail/issues/750 https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail/issues/750 [2] https://github.com/github/semantic https://github.com/github/semantic
