I've registered along time ago and now installed it.
What immediately gave me pause, is the fact that I need to upload ALL MY CODE to the Kite cloud?
You're a fairly new company, unlike Github or AWS, why should any company trust you with their code?
I'm trying to find some code that's not company specific so I can try this out, but for now, with the upload, without any track record, it's a hard sell for commercial environments.
@altryne I totally hear you. We care a lot about code privacy and we've added fine tuning so you can choose which code gets sent to the cloud, including .gitignore style functionality, whitelisting, and others. You can see more details here: https://kite.com/security and specific instructions here http://help.kite.com/article/7-w...
@antonio_bustamante Thanks for the reply!
I just read the blog post on security and move to the cloud, and the /security landing page.
I'm still not convinced, since you guys don't have a track-record yet, maybe after this project picks up some traction.
Additional thoughts after playing with Kite on some personal projects, the MAIN issues that you solve are behind the PRO-plan and it makes the whole thing useless for free-tier. Autocomplete is nice, but the patterns is the biggest promise I think of this tool, and charging for that, when developers already overpay for IDE and tools, on a yearly basis, seems like a strech personally. If you ask someone to submit their codebase for this thing to work, it seems only fair that the results of that submission would be free for that user.
@altryne@antonio_bustamante This also prevents me from using kite :( particularly that I had to come to producthunt to find out how to whitelist directories and by default it whitelists root
Hey everyone!
I'm Antonio, a designer at Kite. Today we're excited to make Kite for Python available for everyone! Go to Kite.com (http://kite.com/) to download and try it yourself.
When we first shared Kite with you, we were overwhelmed by the support and enthusiasm for the product. As we gradually onboarded more users, we ironed out a lot of issues in the product, and since then we've added a ton of new stuff.
Here are some of the changes we're most excited about:
- Deep editor integrations with Atom, Sublime Text 3, and PyCharm / IntelliJ, working better for smaller screens and blending with your coding workflow.
- Fine-grained privacy controls modeled after the .gitignore file format, being able to selectively and precisely decide which files and folders of your codebase Kite indexes in the cloud and which don't.
- Data-driven Python type inference engine that uses both classical type inference and statistical analysis of Github data to bring you the best completions available for Python.
- Kite for Windows
We're looking forward for you to try out! We'll be hanging out here for a while and will try to answer questions, and you can also email us at feedback@kite.com.
Antonio
As stated in the email... "Fortunately much of this technology is language agnostic, so support for more languages will accelerate from here."
Is there any sort of timeline for other languages? Also, I see that the download states "Download Kite for Python." Will there be separate downloads for different languages or is this simply some wording confusion?
Looks great! Been waiting for this for quite some time. Will have to try out with some Python soon.
@dnuzum Hi Derek! It will be the same software, same download. It's just that it only supports Python now. We have an outline of support for more languages here https://kite.com/languages
