tools like Greptile (which this seems close to) to understand Git projects were one time use for me (rendering monthly subscription pointless)

once how to properly use github search especially

also not sure about the web design i guess there are some tools where this works

I wanted to say, this is really thoughtful comment and thank you. I love getting ideas like this about the business model and product/market fit.

The second half of the product is a lot more about everyday features e.g. "whose branches collide with mine" or "what are all the upcoming changes in this module", that type of thing. I'm hoping that shores up the long-termism a bit. We'll have to see, though; this whole thing is kind of an experiment and it may just be a miss, or serve a very specialized use case. If you have more thoughts, I'd welcome them.

There's definitely room for a good product here. Idk about advanced use, but from a naive view, git UI and vscode blame plugins are awkward to use.
