Really like it and kudos on launching. Copying GH permalinks to sections of code is something I do about 30 times a day to augment my Slack posts, GH issues, personal notes, Confluence documentation, etc.
I gotta say though, I don't know that I'd trust CodeLink to be around 1-2 years down the track and if it's not then all that work will be far less valuable without the code being accessible through links that will no longer function. I truly hope this project gets traction and becomes a mainstay but until it does I couldn't see myself adopting it.

- rupertdenton 4y agoHey, thanks so much for the kudos. This is a solid point. I'm going to talk with the team about prioritising an export function. Each CodeNote is essentially a node of links to that code (and conversations about that code) in other places: VCS Hosts, editors, Slack etc. The generated VCS Host and Slack permalinks are not dependant on us. So we can, at least, create a dump of those in short order. We use websockets to locate the code in editors, but could easily downgrade these to protocol links (e.g. `vscode:`) that are independent of us also. What format would be most useful for the dump to be in? JSON, CSV, markdown ...? I'm thinking JSON just from a data organisation perspective?
- somada141 4y agoThanks for the reply! I think any canonical export format would be valuable and would give users some peace of mind :)
