Take Home: IDE-style code-browsing for the web

  Actually a little bit more, as pointed out in the post.

So it's something like Eclipse Orion? http://www.eclipse.org/orion/ http://www.eclipse.org/orion/
- timdorr 13y ago
  Orion is an editor. Upsource is mainly a browser. R/W vs R/O.
noelwelsh 13y ago
Seems like it could be a serious competitor to Github -- the code browsing would be a huge step over what Github offers. However, there is no indication JetBrains want to go that route.

I wish that Atlassian would buy rights to Upsource so they could use it in Stash.
- manojlds 13y ago
  Atlassian and JetBrains are competitors. Don't see it happening.
  - zeckalpha 13y ago
    Though a Salesforce, Atlassian, and JetBrains three way merger would be cool.
  - rschmitty 13y ago
    Are you sure? JetBrains uses Atlassian http://confluence.jetbrains.com/dashboard.action http://confluence.jetbrains.com/dashboard.action
    - manojlds 13y ago
      I stand corrected. They seem to have collaborated on other tools too. But they seem to be in direct competition in this could make for nice integration with Teamcity and Bamboo is a competing product.
- meshko 13y ago
  They do already have that tool, you know? https://www.atlassian.com/software/crucible/overview https://www.atlassian.com/software/crucible/overview (but I think Upstream has every chance of blowing it out of the water)

    Perhaps you meant Fisheye ? https://www.atlassian.com/software/fisheye/overview https://www.atlassian.com/software/fisheye/overview
    - nevster 13y ago
      This combines both of them, both source repository viewer (fisheye) and code review (crucible).

JetBrains guys usually fail to disappoint, I'm really curious how this is going to work (out).
noir_lord 13y ago
Jetbrain's are one to watch. I've not used development tools as good as theirs since the days when Borland was handing Microsoft it's own head in the IDE wars of the late 90's. Phpstorm in particular makes the language much more fun to work with and it stops you dropping out the flow state with stupid paper cut errors/messages. aka don't make me think.

This piece of software looks awesome. Kudos to JetBrains! However, could you guys fix the sluggishness of PyCharm? PyCharm is awesome too, but this problem renders the IDE cumbersome. I run it on a MacBook Pro i7 with 16GB of RAM and a SSD, so it's not my hardware. If you guys take care of that I will certainly keep renewing its yearly subscription.
- hhariri 13y ago
  Have you contacted support? We have a built-in way to gather performance snapshots and try and solve the problem.
  - mmariani 13y ago
    Thanks for the feedback. I'll gather the reports and send them to you guys.
- pplante 13y ago
  i used to have a lot of problems with intellij/pycharm when i first upgraded to a macbook pro retina. turns out the major performance problems i experienced on 12.0 were from the block cursor mode. disabled that and its pretty lightning quick now. the newer 13.0 EAP releases are even faster.
sumit_psp 13y ago
This is great. I can see them going for a revision control system next and build the complete eco system.
- moogly 13y ago
  They're already working on that. They demoed some really early version in Malmö, Sweden recently. There's a video somewhere.
  - orybak 13y ago
    All videos from Malmö are posted in company blog http://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2013/09/12/jetbrains-day-foocafe-recap-announcements-and-videos/ http://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2013/09/12/jetbrains-day-fooc...

Here is the actual site: https://upsource.jetbrains.com/ https://upsource.jetbrains.com/ Although it appears to be down right now.
- hhariri 13y ago
  We're looking into it. It's still 'early' EAP :).
  - MrBuddyCasino 13y ago
    Out of curiosity, I tried to log in with my Google account and then got this when I was sent back to https://upsource.jetbrains.com https://upsource.jetbrains.com: Cannot get icons from server. You do not have permission to access the requested resource
    - hhariri 13y ago
      That's very strange. Can you contact me offline and I can put you in touch with the team? hadi at jetbrains.
- skram 13y ago
  Yup, looking forward to checking it out once it's up
  - hhariri 13y ago
    Should be back up again.

HN effect :) Thanks, guys, working to get it up now.
meshko 13y ago
I got excited there for a second thinking that this will be, among other things, a continuous integration tool, but it is not presented as that. Yet?
- scotth 13y ago
  That's what TeamCity's for (http://www.jetbrains.com/teamcity/ http://www.jetbrains.com/teamcity/). Seems like they'd work well together.

I love this. When I'm browsing code on github (which I do often), I find myself trying to use my editor's hotkeys to jump around in the source. I've been hoping for something like that, and now that this exists, I think it's just a matter of time before github implements it.
efdee 13y ago
JetBrains is one of the most interesting developer-minded companies out there right now and have been for a number of years. Between IntelliJ IDEA (Java and all things JVM, and then some), Resharper (must-have extension for Visual Studio), all their other IDEs built on the IntelliJ IDEA core (Webstorm, Phpstorm, RubyMine, PyCharm, ..?) and all the other great tools they offer (TeamCity for one), I don't know what this developer's life would look like without them. TL;DR: efdee <3 JetBrains.
jasonlotito 13y ago
What really isn't mentioned here in the threads, and the thing that really caught my eye, was the inspections. The notations of where potential errors were in the code. This is amazing, and would make code reviews so much easier.
- garblegarble 13y ago
  This struck me as one of the most interesting features too - especially if it keeps track of new static analysis issues introduced/fixed in code - currently I use TeamCity and it's got integration with inspections too but it would be really interesting to see a good UI for exploring this data as it changes across commits - like Sonar
shiftb 13y ago
I would love to see this tacked on to Github. Or alternatively use Github as the source repository.
- hhariri 13y ago
  Upsource can point to any repository, public or private. Kotlin and IntelliJ projects on there now are actually pointing to GitHub.
codex 13y ago
One interesting feature, as yet unimplemented (it seems) is semantic diffs: why show 1000 renames of a class or variable name in your diff, when a simple "foo was renamed to bar" would suffice?
