I just see a black screen. Icon in top left, no text other than "Login" and "Sign up". Chrome 58, Linux. No errors in the dev console.

Sourcegraph CEO here. We're on it. We are seeing significantly increased load times for some users due to a bottleneck in our serving of Git data. Sorry about the issues...will be fixed asap.

Edit: Fixed. Thanks!

opening a file takes too long, likely due to minimap. I'd disable expensive eye-candies by default.

Sorry about that. We do need to improve the UI perf. Can you try it with the minimap off and let me know if it's faster? There is a "secret" way to disable the minimap: (1) hit Cmd-Shift-P or F1, (2) go to "Preferences: Open User Settings", (3) search for the "editor.minimap.enabled" setting, (4) hover over it and press the pencil and select "false". Then go back to the file and it should not display anymore in your…

Ctrl-P for me on Windows just opens the print dialog.

On a related note, is there any project targeting Vscode in a web browser? I would love to ditch tmux/Vim and move to remote vscode in browser. Currently I use vnc but perf is terrible.

Just dropping by to thank you guys. This extension will be amazingly useful to me.

One question for the good fellas at Sourcegraph: Is it possible to run that extension in firefox? Did you try something like that? Is the code open, so I could give it a go?

Whoops, F1 or or Ctrl+E on Windows. Just updated the post above.

Sourcegraph CEO here. We have a Firefox extension at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sourcegraph-a..., but it does not have quite as many features as the Chrome one.

I agree we should open-source the browser extension code, though. I would like us to do that soon. Can you send me a quick email at sqs@sourcegraph.com so I can tell you when it's open source?

Sourcegraph CEO here. Thanks for posting! Our new VS Code-based UI makes Sourcegraph a better way for you to read a codebase on the web with the full power and intelligence of an editor, without the hassle of cloning or configuration. It provides jump-to-def, hovers, find references, advanced search, symbol search, cross-repo references, etc., for any repo and any commit on GitHub (in Go, Java, and some other languag…

Installed it, didn't work on https://github.com/rails/rails :(

This doesn't work either https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/rails/rails :(

Would be great if it worked, I liked the example with Go code.

Sourcegraph CEO here. We don't support Ruby yet, unfortunately. It officially works for Go and Java, and we have alpha/beta support for a couple more languages enabled too (TypeScript and JavaScript).

As you can imagine, Ruby code intelligence (type inference, etc.) is super tough, and there are maybe 5-10 people in the world who could build it right now. We'd love to find and sponsor a Ruby expert to add Ruby support to Sourcegraph. If you know of anybody, please send them my way (sqs@sourcegraph.com).
