I'm a little bit confused by the state of that website, almost makes Kythe look abandoned, but if you look at the pulse tab on github it tells a different story (looks very much alive).
Is Kythe used to index some prominent open source project/s?
- wffurr 6y agoIt’s used internally at Google and also for Chrome: https://source.chromium.org/chromium https://source.chromium.org/chromium It’s also used to index Google’s open source: https://cs.opensource.google/search?q=Kythe&sq= https://cs.opensource.google/search?q=Kythe&sq= Thread from earlier this year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22551856 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22551856 Not sure what’s giving you that “abandon ware” vibe. Lack of marketing materials? It’s pretty thorough documentation on the indexer.
- emmanueloga_ 6y agoJust compare kythe.io with opensource.google, kythe's page looks more like a collection of markdown files than an alive project website. Clicking "web ui" on the front page took me to this page [1] that is scant on details, linking to a caley release from a year ago, probably is was written long time ago and never updated (makes me think the rest of the pages may be the same). I can tell ease of deploying is not a priority too. Just a little bit of css and linking to source.chromium.org/chromium and cs.opensource.google as example deploys would make the project look more alive. My 2 cents :-) 1: https://kythe.io/examples/#visualizing-cross-references https://kythe.io/examples/#visualizing-cross-references
