@dsmudger Oh thats simple Dan - We NEVER share your code with any service, we do not index or transfer code to our servers. We pass only application usage telemetry not your code. We try and do things as direct as possible so if you look at the app you are calling the APIs directly using your tokens, when a result set returns to the desktop app we call our services - this includes things like removing duplicate results (more than 50% of all GitHub repos are duplicates or partial duplicates), we do tag expansion for results and we rank sort results using a stateless ranker in AWS Lambda, which you can turn off too!

@ianakelly Awesome, I was hoping it'd be something like that (for use at work, some places are understandably concerned about that sort of thing..), thanks for taking the time to reply!

@ianakelly I actually think finding the right answer is getting easier and easier with resources like StackOverflow. It's still not easy but I'd say it's getting better, not worse.

@joshuapinter You are right there are so many ways things are better for developers today. My first programs were copied from a magazine, if there was a typo I would have to wait for 1-2 months for the next magazine to fix it. One thing we have learned is you need to know the sources for your tech stack, while GitHub and Stack Overflow are generic sources often having the knowledge of a great tutorial site, sample code location, or blog makes all the difference when learning something new. We have custom sources that are community built and targeted at specific tech stacks - so if you are a Vue.js developer using Nuxt you would have a separate set of sources and you would be able to filter results to make sure they shared the dependencies with your project. Lots of the hard things have been done, our goal is to make it even easier to find and curate great solutions.

@afshana_diya Absolutely agree! We have been releasing new features so fast we have not posted videos for everything yet. We have a YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/... but I agree we could do a much better job helping people use it well. The Product Hunt post was a true surprise for us and we were not able to present everything we wanted. Stay tuned! New release this weekend!

@ianakelly, I found CodePilot last week and I thought, it deserved to be shared with Product Hunt users. I hope, you have got traction from PH. Cheers :D

@erickbarron86 I would say more of a different approach to the same problem set. Codota and Kite have focused on syntax using proprietary sources. So far we have focused on the first thing you do when you have a problem - You "Google It", we curate sources for Learning, Documentation, errors, and of course Code. We are adding contextual source intelligence now (lets say you are a Android developer using Litho for your UI framework and you enter your query you want to see answers and results that are specific to your needs, not just a Google search for the term.) I know that we all need more help to write awesome code and I am very happy that there are so many smart folks working in this area - I WISH THEM ALL SUCCESS!

@w3bshark Thanks for the great question Tyler! You are smart to ask as so many companies in this space do scan and index your code. We do NOT scan, index, or transmit your code to any source. The only data we collect is your usage of features, we use this to understand how to build a better more usable app but the contents of your code, your repos, gists, etc is not send, stored, or indexed.

@ianakelly That is spectacular. Thanks for the response.
