Regarding your response to “why not use an IDE?”; do you have any other product-like use cases interest you? The one you mention - search across many repositories - makes a lot of sense for organizations with (for example) a Github Enterprise installation and want to investigate or make changes across multiple components. This is definitely relevant to me, and so I wonder what other cool things can I do with it?

I think in the immediate term, we would like to talk to as many people as we can that have this "search across many repos" problem such that we can dial in the core search experience.

Looking beyond the immediate, I think there is allot of fertile ground with respect to making engineering teams more efficient beyond just regular code search. Semantic code search for example is one of those features that I really wish I had when I was at my last job - would have made onboarding onto new codebases much easier.

Would love to hear more about your use cases: brendan@sourcebot.dev
