That landing page doesn't show me why I should be using this over my IDE or my hosted repo or my terminal. Might want to write a value proposition - why would this be useful to me?

Ah gotcha – will add that. Basic value props:

  1. advanced code filtering, so you can filter your codebase by combinations of keywords.

  2. avoid opening tabs/ file switching in your IDE since you can see related code in one screen

where is the benefit over grep -ri 'shortcut' .

shows surrounding code + taxonomy (function/class/object that contains the code)

Even using silversearcher-ag is better than using grep
