Lilit.dev - Java code intelligence on GitHub

Hey HN, Lilit (https://lilit.dev) is a "true" Java code intelligence (like jump-to-definition and find-usage) on Github. It is implemented with a browser extension and a backend. What sets Lilit apart from the alternatives is that Lilit understand Java's semantics tree and build systems. This means that Lilit is as good as your local IDE. Here are three concrete examples: (1) Lilit resolves overloaded method calls correctly, (2) Lilit resolves a complex generic-type-with-lambda-type-inference situation correctly, and (3) Lilit enables you to jump to a class within a jar or JDK.…

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey HN, Lilit (https://lilit.dev) is a "true" Java code intelligence (like jump-to-definition and find-usage) on Github. It is implemented with a browser extension and a backend. What sets Lilit apart from the alternatives is that Lilit understand Java's semantics tree and build systems. This means that Lilit is as good as your local IDE. Here are three concrete examples: (1) Lilit resolves overloaded method calls correctly, (2) Lilit resolves a complex generic-type-with-lambda-type-inference situation correctly, and (3) Lilit enables you to jump to a class within a jar or JDK. ---- You can try it here: https://lilit.dev/try Install our Chrome extension and head to https://github.com/stripe/stripe-java, https://github.com/algolia/algoliasearch-client-java-2, or https://github.com/dotCMS/core Try jumping to a class within a jar. Trying finding all usages of java.lang.String. Try reviewing a pull request. And feel the power of Lilit :) ---- I've made Lilit to solve the pain of reading/reviewing Java code on our browsers. Lilit is especially helpful for a team that review each other's code regularly. We are expanding our private-beta user group right now. We are willing to support Gitlab and on-premises deployment in the near future as well. If you are interested in using Lilit on your repos, please send me a message through the contact form on https://lilit.dev Also, feedback is always welcome. Thank you!
