Earlier quoted context omitted.

I followed the link because I was curious and it still said processing, so I navigated to the homepage and clicked "Try a popular repo" leading to https://app.greptile.com/chat/3t4qpefuh9eqckcdt0b8i?repo=pos... > which then said "We couldn't access this repo." It seems the actual syntax is app.greptile.com/chat/github/postgres/postgres -> https://app.greptile.com/chat/lfbc034nkj7w03v2kb5zp?repo=git... so wherever tha…

Hey, looking into this now. I believe the vote buttons actually do always send us feedback, but the UI could probably be better there.

Unless you are batching them up and hiding them in the upteen bazillion posthog POST requests, no, they do not

I shudder to think how much you must be spending on compute asking for that /api/poll/batch once a second, each one saying it is a Miss from cloudfront. It's especially mysterious since there's nothing on the UI that the user would see about the .filesProcessed increasing that justifies DDoSing yourself like that, IMHO

Not a single repo I've tried works. A lot of them seem not to have finished processing, but even the ones that have finished don't work.

This might have been related to temporary DB issues we had. Could you try again and let us know if you're still running into issues?

I'd love to try it, but pretty much all my repos are >10mb. It's not because there is that much code, but because I am doing bioinformatics and the test files (for the unit tests) inflate the repo size. It would be great if there was a way to test it on just 1 large repo for perhaps a week or something, because I balk at the idea of spending $20 a month on something that I don't even know works well. This is importan…

Just made a checkout code so you can use for free HACKERNEWS100

Do I still need to provide credit card info to use the promo code? No bueno.

After giving permission, it asked to: "Link Your Code Hosting Providers Connect your accounts for seamless integration, and to access private repositories." What does this mean?

If you install the GitHub app and authorize access to private repositories, Greptile will have access to them. If you don't want to do that, you can still navigate to the home page to start chatting.

Can it answer customer support questions on API's cryptic error messages? E.g. Give hints on changes needed in the request payload.

Assuming you can link the source code for the API's logic - that should work. Mileage may vary depending on exactly how vague the message are. For example if a single error message could mean 10 disjointed things, might not be able to exhaustively list them.

Cool, will check it out Does it integrate with Visual Studio, does it provide code suggestions? Been doing a lot of back and forth iteration with ChatGPT to build a python project from scratch It’s been a really good experience although frustratingly slow at times (from going back and forth between the browser and code and having to wait for gpt’s answers) Can more documentation be automatically added? For example, i…

We have a VS code extension in the store (also called "greptile"), feel free to check it out! Docs is a good idea but we haven't found a reliable enough scraper to add docs from a website. We were thinking it would be cool if you could drop in like "docs.stripe.com" and it automatically adds stripe docs to the context.

A JetBrains plugin might be worth looking at too. They are pretty popular in several language communities and still resisting the juggernaut that is VS Code.
