Given what the post is about, I wanted to share what my friend and I are working on.
It’s an app called Devbook [0].
Our goal is to build a search engine for developers. Currently, it allows you to search Stack Overflow and certain documentation. It’s fully controllable using just a keyboard and completely free to use. It works in a way that you don’t have to leave your coding editor.

- mlejva 5y agoIt's an app because we believe this way we can offer better user experience than a website. Devbook works similarly to Spotlight on macOS. You hit a global shortcut and Devbook appears as an overlay over the currently active application. We couldn't do this with a website. We don't show any ads or resell any user information. The advertisement in our privacy policy is just a standard language for cookies when you gather basic usage data through analytics tool. We're funded by Pioneer [0]. Currently Devbook is free. In the future, we will introduce premium plans for teams. [0] https://pioneer.app https://pioneer.app
