An improved Chrome extension for browsing code on GitHub (sourcegraph.com)

This link is specifically for the chrome extension (which is great), but also worth checking out sourcegraph's main site as well: https://sourcegraph.com/

Their in-browser code analysis is kinda amazing. They index most of the go/python/node libraries in github and make the code browsable as if it were in a local IDE. For example, here's their representation of Flask's app module:

I've found it super helpful as a way to explore new libraries and see how they are used by other developers. Props to the sourcegraph team. Excited to see what else is coming down the road.


Co-creator of the Chrome extension (and the site backing it) here. Would love to hear any feedback people have from trying it out! https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sourcegraph/dgjhfo...


Reminds me I made thing with far fewer features (just definition lookups within the same repository), but with support for lots more languages :3 --> http://ghctags.shishnet.org/
