I straight up cannot use Kite. The "code-to-cloud" functionality means that I cannot use it at work. I would love to use it, but it's a non-starter.

#112Earlier quoted context omitted.
(Copied from above.) Totally legit concern. when we started working on this we realized if we wanted to index tens of thousands of libraries, we wouldn't be able to ship the entire index along with the client. Hence the cloud-based architecture. We've thought a lot about privacy and written up our thoughts here: kite.com/security. The short answer is: we don't index anything on your computer that you don't explicitly…
Would it be possible to allow a # nokite at the end of lines; these would then have any strings scrambled. This allows me to know immediately that things aren't being sent to Kite rather than have to do a few checks before I write something secret.
Good idea - will look into it.

#113Adam from Kite here. Thanks for all the feedback and encouragement around the launch today. We're excited to be opening up Kite for everyone to download today. When we launched Kite here on hackernews almost a year ago we were blown away by the enthusiasm for our smart copilot vision. Over 65,000 of you signed up for Kite in the first 72 hours, and over the past year we've been working with many of you to deliver tha…
This looks truly useful and innovative, well done! Two things come to mind, apologies if they're already addressed: The sidebar jumping around in the corner of my eye sounds really distracting, I wonder if there's some way to manually tell it to "update" or some other UX trick to ameliorate that, because the concept is great. I work in the healthcare sector, and I hope you guys do or will have the reams of datasec de…
Hi there!
We've done two things to address the sidebar motion issue:
1) We've improved the sidebar's motion with an updated layout that creates fewer visual changes, and
2) We've been building deeper integration into the editors, with new UX around completions and looking things up.
Check out the new demo video on the homepage—we think you'll like it! : )
Regarding datasec, unfortunately we haven't gotten to that level of security certifications yet, but we hope to get there soon!

#114Does the cloud connectivity requirement mean that kite cannot be used offline?

We really wanted to knock out the core functionality of Kite for Python, and are now exploring on prem deployments of Kite. If this is an important feature for you we'd love to chat. (I'm adam@kite.com.)

#116Just an honest (legal) concern: Is stack overflow ok with having their answers inside an IDE? This decreases the number of pageviews on SO for each installed client. Is that something you guys checked?

#117Has your cache/proxy fallen over? I'm getting a 404 for the base domain 404 Not Found Code: NoSuchKey Message: The specified key does not exist. Key: index.html RequestId: 759C55C7EA94F7D8 HostId: 2i2HH8A3vp5KFvhHhHeoQ+6AiFL/kjd5iByJy6Ouo/pbKwE2xaKP8Es4SU3//1/P7M/5KWJXQv8=
Thanks - we're investigating. Seems to be working in most places but there may be an edge node out of line.
same here, from Bulgaria.

#119The website isn't intuitive on mobile. Do you have to do something special to get the Java client?

#120Could you make your website not display a blank page if the browser has Javascript disabled?
The content does not seem dynamic, so a simple HTML page should work.
