This is actually really cool!

Thank you for the flag! Our intention is to try to "tile" the viewport so that it resembles this grid format (i.e. the carousel/ribbon), but we've found the canvas is still useful folks who want to go that extra mile to

What I do personally is I try to keep all relevant code in my viewport and jump around using shortcuts (are hotkeys a gaming term? I used to say hotkeys all the time!). The visualization is still really helpful for me so that I can quickly

This is to zoom correct? You can also pinch/unpinch!

Ope sorry for the late reply but OPT/ALT is the intended way for you to do this.

Do you mean in the GitHub repo? Happy to add more images/gifs to the repo! It's a fairly recent addition and the website does a much better job of showcasing the product!

Yeah VS Code is built on top of some older frameworks and ideas unfortunately.

This is an unfortunate name collision, but in our defense the concept of a "needle in a haystack" is hardly unique and I believe a code editor is different enough from the AI framework that it's OK. The idea is that a codebas

Harpoon is kind of like a bookmarking tool right? I think the value prop is that you have to do less manual window management, can see connections between code better, and can context switch between tasks. Reposting this from another commen

Since it's opt-in, the generative AI features won't ever bug you unless you want to use them!

Not sure if I completely grasp what you're saying, but you're saying that if you plan the codebase well then dependencies between files/bits of code are more easily followed? For our users, Haystack has been helpful to unders

by akshaysg 2y ago
I understand the frustration here! As the other commenter noted, it's quite bit tougher to make Haystack as good in the form of an extension, but we do plan to eventually explore this path!

Who knows, one day it may be possible (hopefully without any dystopian updates to human biology)!

Yes the visualization should work!

by akshaysg 2y ago
Not yet -- it's our vision to automate stuff like that! > Edit: And "to figure out what edits I need to make" is done by any ol' compiler, no? Kinda? There are cases where you have to drill data down into the callstac

Collaborative and generative AI features. E.g. sharing Haystack workspaces, searching your codebase in the natural language, making edits to multiple files, etc.

Does tldraw work for you? We use Pixi JS, which comes with graphics as well.

by akshaysg 2y ago
Hmm I think someone else has voiced a similar opinion on the wording here, and I actually do agree with you. What was meant by this statement is really just taking care of plumbing and the visualization of how code relates to one another. T

A lot of people mentioned Light Table, but I didn't know about it until post-launch! It's interesting that you mention a more 3D view. We were ideating on this, but it's really hard to get right in a way that the user can und

For C# unfortunately we're missing a lot of features because the VS Code ecosystem itself lacks them (I think this is due to them being unique to Visual Studio). In most cases, except grabbing incoming/outgoing calls, Haystack sho

by akshaysg 2y ago
Most likely we would either have to get the user to do this (we plan to add this as a feature) or use AI to understand when disconnected code (from the LSP standpoint) is indeed connected. This is a top user request though!

I use the Vim VS Code plugin! It mostly works, but I'm not going to lie: there are a couple of bugs e.g. when you go to definition the Vim selection gets confused because in most cases you get placed into a symbol editor. I am happy to

I love the idea of a Haystack VR world! It's a shame that VR software is in a tenuous state due to the biological factors, but I believe it's the future "one day".

It automatically adds connections as you traverse through files/symbols. Not super sure if this is what you mean, but we intend to serve the users "flows" based on queries in the natural language e.g. "what happens when

I've actually never tried this (it'll probably take awhile to get to this point). Feel free to try it out and report back the results -- I'm curious as well!

by akshaysg 2y ago
I'd love to learn more about what you're envisioning for the caller/callee relationship here! Do you mean recursively show callers/callees as you zoom out?

by akshaysg 2y ago
Yeah just to add onto what Jake said -- in our user interviews we found that folks, even those who are pretty used to old IDEs, do get the hang of Haystack pretty fast. However, developers are very idiosyncratic, so we frequently get pain p

by akshaysg 2y ago
Hmm I'll take a look at other licenses to see if there's one that expresses our intent in clearer language. The intent is that you should be able to make PRs, examine the source code, but not distribute Haystack for commercial rea

Yeah the productivity optimization here makes sense. We intend to add generative AI features unique to the canvas UI as well to ensure our users don't lose productivity. I am curious what features you like about Cursor the most? For me

Good idea. Will add!
