I’ve been thinking about something like this for years - super psyched to see a team working on it! A feature I’d really love is a linked list of these code pointers, so send someone a link to a “flow” where they can step through each code snippet with the spacebar or left/right arrows, with optional accompanying text for each step. I’m imagining onboarding myself or someone else to a massive monorepo, or tracing through a flow scattered across several microservices contained in separate repositories.

That is awesome feedback. We actually have some features on our roadmap that really align with this. Its great to have it validated here, so thank you for taking the time to respond. We are a small team, but really passionate about making something really helpful!

Hey! Thanks again for this - I wanted to pass on some additional comments from our Founder too. He was really interested in your response but was having trouble posting. Nice! So you've seen what a CodeLink is. Imagine if that link was a snippet of code embedded in a web doc, like Google Docs or Confluence. You could then write a tutorial with snippet blocks that - when clicked - load up the repo and highlight that code in your editor. Plot twist, we've built it: CodeNote (www.codenote.dev) - think Notion but for Developers. It works hand in hand with CodeLink. We use it to onboard all new devs and for technical design specs etc. We've got a closed Beta group actively using it. If you like, jump on the wait list on the website and we'll get you in the next group. Looking forward to seeing you in there and getting your feedback!
