🚀 Hey Product Hunt! Ori here — excited to launch Rifler!
Thanks so much for checking out Rifler!
This started as a tiny side project because I was frustrated with slow, clunky file search when working in large repos. I wanted something instant, simple, and built just for the way developers actually search through code.
After a lot of iterations, experiments, and late-night profiling sessions… Rifler is now ridiculously fast — searches complete in ~5ms with full-file preview, regex, file masks, and multiple scopes (project, module, directory).
My goal is to make it the fastest and smoothest search experience inside VS Code. No waiting, no context switching, no spawning processes — just type and see results immediately.
🙌 I’d love your feedback!
How fast is it on your codebase?
Any features you’d love to see next?
Does the UX feel intuitive?
Your thoughts will help shape the next versions — especially around multi-file previews, custom ignore rules, and deeper editor integrations.
Thanks again for the support, and happy rifling! 🔍⚡
