Has 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.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Ah, it's being blocked by work's OpenDNS malware detection…

https://domain.opendns.com/kite.com doesn't show any unusual categories, we might be pulling security blacklists from another source.

My OpenDNS is also unhappy about it, getting all sorts of SSL cert issues.

Where are the Instructions?

okay, so I am excited about this, don't mind some code in the cloud, but I am having trouble with a quick start.

Downloaded it, had trouble launching it (expired certificate).

Once I did launch it there are no instructions.

I went into the tray and went to settings. It was trying to map my WHOLE USER FOLDER.

I turned that off, and whitelisted a smaller folder for it to use. Set up a small test python file. Opened up a sublime file.

Can you include some instructions about how Kite is supposed to integrate with anything? I see this cool video but it is not obvious how I am supposed to get it to work for myself.

Curious to try Kite, I started to integrate Kite plugin into PyCharm until I saw they keep our code in the cloud which enables Kite do what it does. I'm not sure how many of them would be ok with their code being stored in a private cloud!

My largest concern is how frequently is my code sent to the cloud? Sometimes when building integrations, I hard code private keys just to get things working and then pull them out into config files that aren't checked into source control. Not knowing where that key might have gone would bother me.

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 ask us to, and our plan is to earn trust the hard (i.e. only) way: transparency, published policies, and a track record of good decision making.
