Thanks for the feedback, to be honest, my own experience is actually very similar to yours.

The original pain point probably only exists for small minority of open source maintainers who manage multiple repos and actually search across them regularly. Most devs are probably like you and I, and the mediocre GitHub search experience is more than compensated by using Google.

In its current iteration, it's quite hard to get regular devs to change their searching behaviour, and, even for those who experience this pain point, it probably isn't large enough for them to change their behavior.

If I continue to work on this, I would want to (1) solve a bigger + more frequent pain point; (2) build something that requires a smaller change in user behavior.

Any chance you live in SF? If so, we should meet up - I'm working on something similar. You can reach out at my username @gmail.com
