bloop - Code-search engine for developers

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.

That sounds like a really good extension. How many JS libraries are you supporting? Would like to see if my libraries are supported :)

This looks totally useful — I love where coding is going.

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

Are you going to add other languages?

nise product

I think we need more tools like. Developers spend too much time on things that can be done automatically. Also, it would be really amazing if you could show examples of code from my colleagues because we try to keep the same code style, but our codebase is so large nobody can remember it fully.

I like this extension! Personally, I toggled off auto show feature and open it manually when I need it with the shortcut, I think it's better this way.

Just tried this out, I really like it. The interesting, and important, feature is that each snippet has a relevant URL that I can go to and read more about its documentation. This is so much better than having me search documentations.

fantastic tool! this easily cuts the number of times I usually need to leave the IDE and search for code and library examples by 80% and it's only getting better the more libraries are added!

I’d like to imagine it’s just google but only returns results from StackOverflow 😂😂

I am definitely going to give this a try. Looks promising

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!

Bloop is an amazing Extension. Keep up the good work.

I really like this product, especially the like feature. Just by having my liked snippets on top in subsequent searches makes my workflow simpler, smoother, and more productive.

really efficient tool it is. the features are good and i loved it.

This looks amazing! Seems like it's gonna take over searching code examples over on stackoverflow for me!

Great idea! I know lots of people who would use it. Well done!

Given how many time during the day I have to leave the IDE environment to search the web for code usage and examples, this is a very interesting application indeed!!

you are awesome man
