• Ask HN: Little or even unknown website that you like to use?

  Https://grep.app - To search repos for patterns. I usually use it when I'm using an obscure or badly documented library. https://unicode.scarfboy.com/ - Unicode stuff. There are a lot of small Unicode tool sites. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Nginx Has Moved to GitHub

  There are some alternatives like https://grep.app or https://sourcegraph.com/search if you want fast live search, but at the end of the day these are generally expensive services to provide, especially for free anonymous users, so you should probably at least accept that service providers can and do change things like this. You can also run something like your own copy of Zoekt and then ingest repositories on... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Sourcegraph Went Dark

  Https://grep.app/ is another good one. Not sure how many repos they index though. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Code Finder – The ultimate search engine for GitHub repositories

  Https://grep.app/ is similar and seems to return results, but I have not compared it to native GitHub search. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Ask HN: Grep.app Alternative?

  Https://grep.app/ has served me well for the last couple of years finding snippets for random APIs. But recently I found that certain strings from open-source projects suddenly yield no results. For example: VaultServiceTimeout from https://github.com/rajanadar/VaultSharp has no results for https://grep.app/search?q=VaultServiceTimeout. Is there some alternative service for this task that is up-to-date? - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Engineering with AI: Adapting Core Practices for LLM-Driven Development

  The core idea behind Rulebook-AI is not to build another AI coding assistant from scratch, nor is it to create a new IDE. Instead, it aims to be an orchestration and customization layer that sits on top of existing AI coding assistants (like Cursor, CLINE, RooCode, and Windsurf). Its primary goal, as outlined in its PRD, is to "provide a comprehensive and optimal Custom User Prompt (Rules) framework" and leverage... - Source: dev.to / 20 days ago

• My Type of Library: Axios TypeScript Conversion

  The functional issues revealed during the conversion show the flexibility of JavaScript and the clever “tricks” we often perform with it. In highlighting the issues, I utilized AI agents through the Windsurf editor, and when it offered suggestions for fixes, I realized that even with the extensive context provided by the codebase, its solutions were still sub-par and illustrative of the limits of how AI can help... - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• Top 5 AI IDEs That Will Make You Feel Like a 10x Developer!

  When I first heard about Windsurf (developed by Codeium), I was skeptical. Another AI IDE in an already crowded market? But after just one day of use, I was completely sold on its unique approach to AI-assisted coding. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago
