Same demo not working for me, asks me to install a React App on the address bar in Chrome. No chance I'm installing something random.

Yeah you definitely don't need to install anything. I don't know how to deploy React apps apparently (will try to fix), but it's just a regular website and I would never ask users to expect anything else.

Update: it's because create-react-app creates manifest.json in public/, which causes Chrome to prompt you for this. I've deleted it in the latest container image and I'll redeploy once traffic dies down a bit.

Demo page is now deleted?

Nope still there, but you may have caught the server at a bad moment. Because Asqi uses the DB read/write, there's only one replica of the server and it has less than 100% uptime depending on indexing and user load.

Same here. Looks like some property of 'p' can't be read in.

Same, getting:

  3main.5cc1145c.js:2 TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'p')
    at V.rpc (main.5cc1145c.js:2:23177)
    at V.server_repos (main.5cc1145c.js:2:25611)
    at e (main.5cc1145c.js:2:93041)
Would really like to try this out

Got it working again! Sorry about that, server crash possibly from being on HN :)

Looks like it's working now - I tried out the gitlab repo. My laptops fans spun up, mousing over segments seem to freeze the UI, and I wasn't really sure what I was looking at in the first place. I think the app itself is pretty disorienting, especially compared with the simplicity of the landing page. Have you considered pre-rendering all this stuff and making the app more static? I think a significant improvement could be to change whatever is happening on hover to on click, otherwise UI elements are shifting around a lot and stalling as it synchronously retrieves elements. I really like the idea of an OSS codebase explorer though, hope you keep iterating on this project!

Hi, thanks for trying it out! The server crashed, sorry about that. I need to add a liveness check. It should be working now.

As for comments asking to install React, it's a bug on my end. Create-react-app leaves a manifest.json file in public/, which causes the prompt to appear. I've deleted it in the latest container image but haven't redeployed yet since we've got a lot of active users at the moment.

Anyway, you don't have to install anything, nor will you ever have to, in order to use Asqi.
