hackerpainon Grep.app, a GitHub code search engine to search for code patterns and examples

Hey,

Seems like the app isn't open source. But they are apparently having a Big Dataset of scraped Github content as GitHub API provides limited search operations with rate limiting.

But here's the API -> https://grep.app/api/search?q=test, you are going to parse hits > hits > [0:9] > content from the JSON.

Also I feel they are simply using BigQuery or, BigQuery data sets on the backend.

Cheers

Seems really useful, there's another tool -- https://grep.app that searches for code patterns throughout GitHub, very useful to take inspiration from other's code or, look for examples.
