I got some partial/incomplete answers on Fast mode, but changing it to Smart mode immediately improved the quality of the output. Would be nice if you could +/- the output, just my 2c.

This is sooo good... how are you guys making money since you are offering it for free?

  Yes! Same question. Also, how are you different from Phind and Blackbox? I’m a newbie dev and have been using mostly Phind for dev search.

  Would you be OK using a Github login on stuff like this? Or would you be OK just using tokens emailed to you as a means to login? The reason I'm asking is because I don't like passwords and so designed a password-less login system that relies on emailed tokens and 2FA, with either the Authenticator app or texts.

    OK, I'll add Github login next week. Thanks.

      GitHub login is a great idea for this. Offering only Google leaves out the majority of small business (and big business!) coders worldwide who rely on Microsoft's small business ecosystem. To solve in a generalized way consider OpenID Connect (OIDC) that lets you put a stack of "Sign in with [account]" or "Continue with [account]" buttons, easily. You end up with this: https://www.xsplit.com/user/auth https://www.xsplit.com/user/auth And you don't need the complicated "SSO" stuff. Another example: https://id.atlassian.com/login https://id.atlassian.com/login But it's better to not need to implement username/password login at all, meaning you don't have any usernames or passwords to steal or lose.

        Or do this: https://github.com/MittaAI/SlothAI/blob/main/SlothAI/web/auth.py https://github.com/MittaAI/SlothAI/blob/main/SlothAI/web/aut... That flow sends an auth token by email. I've implemented other versions that use SMS for login with numbers after that flow takes place.

I wonder if he used phind to build his phind competitor.

A query parameter would be useful, to be able to skip the landing page and go directly to the answer. With Phind, for instance, I can do `https://www.phind.com/search?q=foobar https://www.phind.com/search?q=foobar`.

emm... It's pretty obvious that you just copy devv.ai, even the icons are similar lol. Making a cloning product and public to all may not be a good idea

  And devv.ai itself is a blatant clone of phind.com
