This looks truly useful and innovative, well done!

Two things come to mind, apologies if they're already addressed:

The sidebar jumping around in the corner of my eye sounds really distracting, I wonder if there's some way to manually tell it to "update" or some other UX trick to ameliorate that, because the concept is great.

I work in the healthcare sector, and I hope you guys do or will have the reams of datasec declarations and certifications needed for this to be usable in such a regulated context.

Hi there!

We've done two things to address the sidebar motion issue:

1) We've improved the sidebar's motion with an updated layout that creates fewer visual changes, and

2) We've been building deeper integration into the editors, with new UX around completions and looking things up.

Check out the new demo video on the homepage—we think you'll like it! : )

Regarding datasec, unfortunately we haven't gotten to that level of security certifications yet, but we hope to get there soon!
