Hey guys - creator here. Have hit the Github rate limit and currently not working! Am trying to fix! Thanks for all the support!

Might be worth asking users to "login with GitHub" to get past the rate limits (the anonymous rate limits are lowwww like 10 per hour). Logging with GitHub is still lowish but like 1k per hour or so. (IIRC)

There’s no way I’m logging into rando apps using my GitHub id. Aside from their bad UX and the potential to accidentally over grant permissions, the app could abuse GitHub ToS with my credentials and get me banned.

Not worth the risk just to play around with a site.

This appears to be quite nice assuming it works, but I wonder: how does this work? I thought ChatGPT could only process a very limited context (a few thousand words or so) and this claims to work for repositories The site says: "we will download [the repo] to the server and create embeddings against the code". What kind of embeddings are these?

It uses the OpenAI embedding models to get around the context window problem. You can compress large amounts of text/code into just a few tokens.

I'm curious if can share LoC -> token count metrics?

The fact that it also gave the backstory on this being a known artistic tactic, truly awesome
