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.
@dz156@gabriel_gordon_hall1 I can find all the libraries I use on daily basis, very cool.
Will try it even more when I get back to work

@frontend_enthusiast@gabriel_gordon_hall1 Thanks.
I am currently trying to learn jspreadsheet library with an unfriendly documentation. Judging by the notion list, that library is not supported yet. Is there a way for me to ask for this library, like reporting jspreadsheet?
Thanks for the Hunt @chrismessina 👋
Give it a try here: https://marketplace.visualstudio...
It's an exciting time to be a developer as a new generation of AI tools are coming to the IDE. But while Copilot has taken code generation to the next level, code search is still manual.
We still open hundreds of Chrome tabs and manually crawl through Google, StackOverflow or Github. Nobody goes to CS school to spend their time skimming Medium articles and CTRL-F’ing through docs.
So we built bloop, a neural code search engine for VS Code to help developers find code quickly.
bloop pulls in code scraped from Github and library documentation and displays relevant snippets in a sidebar.
It highlights patterns that crop up in lots of repos, so you can see what’s particular to a project and what’s idiomatic code. So as you write, you get a sense of how functions are meant to be used.
We’ve got exciting new features on the way. We want to make it seamless for developers to benefit from open-source code.

@chrismessina@gabriel_gordon_hall1 Congratulations on your launch on PH. I am certain this will help solve a number of problems for developers. KUDOS👌

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?

How do you make money? The extension is not open-source and your Privacy Policy says you can collect whatever data you want, keep it forever and share it with whoever.

I just HAD to try this so went ahead and installed vs code just to try this extension :) is there a way to use it with react functional components in particular? :)

It's totally awesome! For me it solves 90% of cases when I have to google for something just to see an example of usage. I love it

This product is really nice! It helps me to increase my productivity in about 50%. I really like it and want this product to grow!
Thanks for such a great thing!
