it wants me to login to ask a question

I will just keep using phind

you have vc dollars - sponsor a public free search over open source repos.

Also think about what happens when your question touches multiple repos.

I tried a similar "search github repo with ai" product before, but it led me right back to phind, when it couldnt answer a question that required specific information from the repositiory as well as a google search.

It's funny to see this because from my perspective we've done this on a pretty scrappy budget. That said we're thinking of adding an open access for select repos. Why is logging in so terrible? We want to get to know our users.

it is though being the little guy.

But that is not my problem. I am just a consumer. I will use what ever is the best and pragmatic solution to my problem.

I even logged in to phind after a while because it is nice to have access to my old chats.

But you need to provide value first before I bother with this.

Why do I need to explain these basic things?

pls dont get defensive when you get free feedback. not a good sign

This comes across as pretty rude... they're already indexing and generating pages for public repos for free, and providing this search for free, just behind a login. If you want to use phind instead go ahead.

Thought show HN means being open for feedback not "please whorship my product"

here you go: your product is the best. You will come out on top in this very crowded market and your stocks will be worth millions.

I dont see it as rude to take my time and explain where their product is lacking. I am a power user of these kind of tools and tried many.
