Not (directly) related to the security, but I was wondering if you were inspired by any research from academia when creating this. I only ask because I just watched a talk from a Stanford professor from 2012 where he talks about anonymizing and aggregating everyone's code in the cloud to create better documentation, albeit as a one sentence aside at the end of an otherwise unrelated talk.

The initial idea came from thinking about live contextual search and community. This thinking intersected with programming because of my background, and once that happened there was a lot of iteration—informed by research, and mostly conversations with friends—to get where we are today.
