Show HN: Grokbit, a better way to search and browse code

brw12 · on June 21, 2016

What I like: lightning fast interface, deeply satisfying ability to search instantaneously

What's confusing: unclear to me what the platform for this is -- is it an IDE? A github-compatible tool? Where does my code have to live?

Hi brw,

Your code remains living in its original repo. To keep things easy, it'll support only GitHub repos at first, then any Git repo, then potentially other source control software.

I really like the multi-pane functionality and integration of shortcuts. A lot of interfaces use overly complex shortcuts for tasks that should be immediately accessible--being able to press 'r' and 'c' for a new row or column is great. Looks like you have a good selection of languages being parsed as well. I can definitely see myself using this as a tool in future projects or when diving into a new codebase. Can't wait to see integration with online repositories.
