Since the discontinuation of Sourcetrail some time ago I've been trying to find a similar offering. For a while I've just been using VSCode to ctrl-click my way through code bases, but I really miss the dependency maps.I haven't been able to get Sourcetrail running on our current corporate machines. Does anyone use any good alternative?

Ask HN: Alternatives to location search using Google Maps?

Have been trialing other tools to look-up places I'm interested in but have had mixed results here in Australia.e.g. searching for a region in southern Victoria colloquially known as "wilsons prom" using OpenStreetMap Nominatim takes me to "Wilsons Prom Cafe & Pizza" rather than the region "Wilsons Promontory" nearby.This and other bugbears have been stopping me from using non-Google tools...

Beat me to it, I got a very similar response by telling GPT-3 to behave as a 'highly advanced search engine'. It also went for Hvar and Korcula.

query: what is the koh lanta of croatia?

response:

Koh Lanta is an island in Thailand that's known for its beautiful beaches and clear waters. It's a popular destination for tourists, and it's also become a popular spot for digital nomads in recent years.

Croatia doesn't have an island that's quite like Koh Lanta, but there are a few options that come close. The island of Hvar is a good option, as it has beautiful beaches and a laid-back vibe. The island of Korcula is another option, and it's known for its medieval villages and stunning scenery.
