bloop - Code-search engine for developers

bloop is an in-IDE code search engine that retrieves relevant JS and TypeScript code examples from library documentation and open-source repos.
See library function parameters, output, and error-handling - without going to Google.

Cool stuff! I like the approach of coding with the support of real-life examples more than the Codex & Copilot approach! This is the way to go IMO! How many repos are you indexing? And what's next for the product?

Bloop has substantially increased my productivity. I love having access to the source of the snippet so that I can see it in context when I need more information.

@adam_mcaskill That’s great to hear Adam! Completely agree: context is crucial when it comes to code 👌

Woahhhh, this is pretty radical. This makes so much sense. Started using it today :)

This is super useful. Going to shorten the amount of time we spend looking through libraries manually.

Something I am gonna use everyday now on. Also I write flutter too. Maybe a support for that would be amazing. Plus the community is huge.

Great idea Gabriel! I hope to see it for IntellIj editors too (WebStorm)

I’d like to imagine it’s just google but only returns results from StackOverflow 😂😂

@bulbacode I don't see how it's related to StackOverflow. It's more like googling through different library docs.

Really helpful extension! Are you planning to expand and add functionality for other libraries?
