Jump to definition is available on GitHub (Beta) (opens in new tab)

Shameless plug: I'm building lilit.dev, which is a "true" Java code intelligence on browser (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20228115).

It's true in the sense that the features like jump-to-definition/find-usage are accurate. This is especially important around overloaded methods and parameterized types.

A few days back, we recently launched parameter hints (blog: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20320481) and type info (tweet: https://twitter.com/tanin/status/1145502393708081152).

We're looking for private beta users. Please let us know if anyone is interested :)

I wonder why this feature hasn’t attracted much attention:

We will see again when it is out of beta.

Not sure if it's only me. I have not ever used jump-to-definition feature on my editor. 95% of the time I just use search. But in case of Github web, it makes sense because their search feature isn't on par with local text editors.

Very cool! I wonder why they wrote their own source code analyzer instead of building off of the language servers that already exist: https://langserver.org/
