https://i.imgur.com/OpHwOvU.png The checkboxes are pixelated (this is FF) and rather hard to distinguish from the logos. Oddly, at first, I was looking at the logos from right to left and I was confused what the last and third to last logos were, hah. It would be cool if the logos themselves were the checkboxes, with a darker version for checked and lightened version for unchecked (and all should be checked by defaul…

Ah you’ve stumbled across a bug I filed with Mozilla a few months ago but wasn’t able to follow up on for lack of time (it’s not my primary browser and I’m not a web dev primarily): https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1448682

I encourage affected people to follow up on bugzilla.

This is very cool. If you start to hit API rate limits for these services, you can try using the Sourcegraph API (email me sqs@sourcegraph.com and I can make sure your API key isn't rate-limited). Sourcegraph indexes all of these Git platforms and has a search API: https://about.sourcegraph.com/docs/features/api .

Awesome! Thanks a ton, I'll play around with this later today.

Awesome stuff! Great timing too. Code Search is super useful and there are a bunch of folks already going after this space. Sourcegraph, CodePilot.ai, Searchcode.com, and many more! Happy to see something so light and elegant for the use case. Good work!

Thanks, it's a simple layer on top of the existing APIs and search interfaces so it's not nearly as feature complete as those other services(that would require actually crawling and indexing). I made it just for fun but who knows, might be worth expanding on.

nice tool, nice timing, might be useful with all the moving projects. pls consider adding the title attribute to the images for screen readers and users who don't know the logos.

Noted, thanks for pointing that out I hadn't thought of the accessibility element.

Right on the day that Microsoft acquires Gitlab :-)

It is not coincidence. The page has been created today!

Yeah I made this in reaction to the news. Glad I got it together quickly!

Slightly tangent, I really hope these kind of things enable us to do more with code already written:

* Like I should be able to query based on signature of the function rather than just banking on its name.

* I want to see how different projects use this particular package- what are its most used methods; how any of its types are constructed.

* What are the best practices for using a particular package etc

What's the front end? I've been thinking of building something similar, but I'm bad at front-end tech.

The frontend is reactjs. Very simple.
