Unblocked eliminates the countless hours developers spend in meetings, dealing with interruptions and searching for documents as they look for answers to questions about their codebase.
Hello everyone!
I'm Dennis and I'm the founder of Unblocked.
Unblocked provides helpful and accurate answers to any question about your codebase.
When a project and team gets big enough, one of the most time consuming parts of building software is understanding the entirety of your codebase — how it works, why it was written, and works the way it does.
Our goal is to help you get the information you need so you can maximize the time you spend writing code.
We (securely) connect to the data sources teams use to talk about their codebase - source code providers, bug trackers, documentation/wiki systems and messaging platforms and expose the information we think might be helpful to you in your IDE, our dashboard and our macOS app.
We'd love for you to try out Unblocked. You can get started here: http://www.getunblocked.com/

So excited to see this live! Have been using versions of it with our team for a while now and it’s become indispensable…saves us a lot of time especially while onboarding new engineers, as well as anyone who works on a part of the codebase they aren’t intimately familiar with
@dennispilarinos congrats on the launch. We’re using Unblocked at Ada and love that we have PR discussions inline and being able to ask questions about our codebases to AI.
@dennispilarinos Unblocked looks amazing and like something I've been wanting for a long time. Giving it a try now!
Question: typically, the app has to support the code language the app is in. I haven't seen anything about what languages you support in the docs, so I'm wondering whether Unblocked is universal, or are there limitations on the type of code?
Report
I had a chance to look at an early version of Unblocked. I think the huge benefit is when you work in a microservices environment or with many clients.
Over time, engineers get comfortable working on their own microservice but don’t have the context to make changes in microservices that other team’s own. Having iOS, Android, and web clients exasperates this.
Unblocked helps engineers get all of the context they need around changes. When teams grow, this context ends up in places like Slack threads that are 100 comments deep.
@kaler Thanks Parveen!
You bring up a great example of developers use Unblocked to learn more about, or make a change in another part of the codebase they're not familiar with, but want / need to make changes to.
@sentry_co Thank you! We always felt it was disingenuous to charge early adopters for money when they'v already paid us with their time.. which is FAR more valuable!
Yes, there is a plugin for VSCode!

Stoked to finally see this meticulously crafted product in the wild. Congrats on the official launch team.
@mfwalters Thank you and the entire team at Cribl for your support Matt!
Report
We've been glad to be involved early - Unblocked keeps getting more useful to us, and your team has been super responsive to any questions or feature requests we've had. I'm excited that more folks can (ahem) get Unblocked now!
@rajiv_ayyangar Thanks Rajiv! It felt like such a helpful experience when we thought about it and it's been even better than we had anticipated in practice.
Having an virtual member of your team that knows about every change and every discussion about your codebase is a pretty powerful tool!

Congrats to @dennispilarinos and Unblocked team for launching! We've been using Unblocked at Weights & Biases and it's helped us collaborate around our codebase, as well as made it easier to onboard some new team members! Highly recommend using it!
I have worked with Unblocked (BitBucket and VSCode) for some time now, and it helps our team to facility discussions around particular code-blocks w/o losing the thread or the decision further down the road. Love it...
We've been using this tool for a month and our team finds it incredibly useful. Instead of typing completions, this AI tool delivers deep wisdom about the codebase for developers.
