naming things is hard. Googling for other things already named this shouldn't be.
"Darwin" is already pretty apt though. There's famously even an award named that which is on topic for if/when this goes wrong. ;)

#62I would be more willing to try this if it was possible to host it myself. I get that you want to monetize this and that’s fair, but I am also not going to trust my code to a random online tool. Maybe I’ll give a bash at making something like this for my own use
I understand the concern. What would "hosting it yourself" look like for you?
Run code I can read on hardware I can control, and on a network I can control.

#63UPDATE
First of all - big thank you to everyone who gave feedback and tried out the project!
I hear your concerns about trust and invasive permissions. Here is what I will do tonight:
- Remove all data of everyone who has signed up so far
- Revoke all granted privileges
- Deactivate signup
- Put a detailed note on the front page for anyone who's already signed up
Your feedback has been invaluable and I will start working on the next iteration soon.

I get that! In order to check out the repo, these permissions are required though. What could I do to make you feel comfortable granting those permissions?
It would be much better to allow granting access to only a single repository, rather than complete and absolute access to all the repositories in an account.
I hear you. I've posted a comment to address this concern

#65I like it! I built a command line AI coding assistant for my projects ( https://codemancer.codes ) when GPT-4 first came out, but still think this space is wayyy under explored given the possible capabilities.
Although it has a mention of "GPL" at the bottom of the readme in your repo: https://github.com/0xmmo/codemancer/ ... it doesn't have anything else. Generally the text of the GPL license is placed in a file (named "COPYING" or "LICENSE") in the root directory of the repo. Might want to add it so its super clear. :)
Thank you for the tip! Will add.

I like Darwin - could easily move to CodeDarwin, GitDarwin, DarwinHub, AutoDarwin, etc. I think the urge to keep everything as one goofy name is overkill, and spread bc everyone wants their project to be as central as python. But there’s plenty of combo names - numpy, scikit, and github, off the top of my head. It does open up the semantic space by about 6 orders of magnitude, just counting English nouns. Obv I’m in…
Replying cause a real idea came to me in the shower: pick a more specific scientist! Wikipedia credits Turing (taken, obv), Forsyth, Cramer, and Koza as inventors of genetic programming, for instance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_programming
That's a lovely idea!! Thank you
