Thanks for the Hunt @chrismessina 👋 Give it a try here: https://marketplace.visualstudio... It's an exciting time to be a developer as a new generation of AI tools are coming to the IDE. But while Copilot has taken code generation to the next level, code search is still manual. We still open hundreds of Chrome tabs and manually crawl through Google, StackOverflow or Github. Nobody goes to CS school to spend their time skimming Medium articles and CTRL-F’ing through docs. So we built bloop, a neural code search engine for VS Code to help developers find code quickly. bloop pulls in code scraped from Github and library documentation and displays relevant snippets in a sidebar. It highlights patterns that crop up in lots of repos, so you can see what’s particular to a project and what’s idiomatic code. So as you write, you get a sense of how functions are meant to be used. We’ve got exciting new features on the way. We want to make it seamless for developers to benefit from open-source code.

That sounds like a really good extension. How many JS libraries are you supporting? Would like to see if my libraries are supported :)

@frontend_enthusiast @gabriel_gordon_hall1 Thanks. I am currently trying to learn jspreadsheet library with an unfriendly documentation. Judging by the notion list, that library is not supported yet. Is there a way for me to ask for this library, like reporting jspreadsheet?
