Bloop is an in-IDE code search engine designed for developers working with JavaScript and TypeScript. It retrieves relevant code examples directly from library documentation and open-source repositories, allowing developers to view function parameters, outputs, and error-handling patterns without leaving their development environment or searching online. The tool integrates productivity features with artificial intelligence to streamline the coding process.

Bloop – Answer questions about your code with an LLM agent2023 · github.com · ▲118Hi HN! We launched bloop 10 weeks ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35236275) and received a huge amount of feedback (both positive + constructive). We've undertaken a rewrite of the core search framework, which now acts as an LLM agent, significantly improving the number of queries that can be successfully answered. There's a bunch of hype surrounding LLM agents, but we're positive this is one of the first implementations of an agent that can deliver immediate value for engineers working on existing projects, especially larger ones. We'll do a full write up of how the…
Haystack – an IDE for exploring and editing code on an infinite canvas2024 · haystackeditor.com · ▲546Hi HN, we’re building Haystack Editor (https://haystackeditor.com/), a canvas-based IDE that automates the boring stuff (plumbing, refactoring, and finding code) so that you can focus on the exciting parts of software development! You can see a quick overview of Haystack at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2uZnR5D_cc! (It's currently only on Mac OS but we're working on Linux and Windows. Edit: just added a Linux download!) Haystack was born out of our frustrations with working in large and mature codebases, specifically with navigating and editing functional…

Hey all My name is Sindre, and I am the CTO of Scrimba (YC S20). For the last 7 years, I have written all my web apps in a full-stack programming language called Imba. It compiles to JavaScript and its main goal is to make web developers more productive. I just launched a major overhaul of Imba, so I wanted to share it here on HN, in case anyone are interested in learning more about it. It is very opinionated, so some of you might not like it, but I would love to hear anyones feedback regardless. Constructive criticism appreciated! The backstory: Imba initially started in 2012 as an effort…

Hello HN, Over the last year we've been building ente[1], a privacy-friendly, easy-to-use alternative to Google Photos. We've so far built Android[2][3], iOS[4], web[5] apps that encrypt your files and back them up in the background. You can access these across your devices, and share them with other ente users, end-to-end encrypted. You can also use our electron app[6] to maintain a local copy of your backed up files. We've built a fault-tolerant data replication layer that replicates your data to two different storage providers in the EU. We will be providing additional replicas as an…
