you have vc dollars - sponsor a public free search over open source repos.
Also think about what happens when your question touches multiple repos.
I tried a similar "search github repo with ai" product before, but it led me right back to phind, when it couldnt answer a question that required specific information from the repositiory as well as a google search.
- oshams 2y agoIt's funny to see this because from my perspective we've done this on a pretty scrappy budget. That said we're thinking of adding an open access for select repos. Why is logging in so terrible? We want to get to know our users.
- spirobelv2 2y agoit is though being the little guy. But that is not my problem. I am just a consumer. I will use what ever is the best and pragmatic solution to my problem. I even logged in to phind after a while because it is nice to have access to my old chats. But you need to provide value first before I bother with this. Why do I need to explain these basic things? pls dont get defensive when you get free feedback. not a good sign
- fudged71 2y agoThis comes across as pretty rude... they're already indexing and generating pages for public repos for free, and providing this search for free, just behind a login. If you want to use phind instead go ahead.
- spirobelv2 2y agoThought show HN means being open for feedback not "please whorship my product" here you go: your product is the best. You will come out on top in this very crowded market and your stocks will be worth millions. I dont see it as rude to take my time and explain where their product is lacking. I am a power user of these kind of tools and tried many.
