codeitcodes / codeit Goto Github PK

Eg.

{]

Should become:

{}]

Instead, it stays the same.

• On desktop when not logged into Git
• On desktop when logged into Git but didn't select any file

Closing char does not untab when typed.

Maybe there would be an additional button ➕, next to the search button on the Gitbar.

What if you had a "Create invite link" in Codeit.
You would choose permissions (eg. read, read & write) and an invite link would be generated.
Anyone who clicks on the link accepts the invite and gets access.
This would be better than Github's current flow for invites (open email, click on link, press accept).

Cannot type in code editor when loading empty file.

Preserve Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+Shift+Z history when leaving the app and returning.

Option to write custom commit messages by holding the ⏫ button.

In Github, it's implemented like this:

I'm not saying that's how it should be. Perhaps it could be on a right-click menu.

Connect to other Git hosts other than Github, eg. Gitlab or Bitbucket.

It would be helpful if you could swipe right to add a comment on a line on a file.
Other people could swipe to see comments on lines.
On desktop, you could click on the line to see or add comments.

For large files (+400 lines), buffer code for fast performance).
Also, override typing with the Range API.

Repository title displays an overflow tooltip, even on bigger screens where it should not display a tooltip.

Add Prettier or another beautifier that beautifies the code, on a click of a button or a keyboard shortcut like Ctrl/Cmd+P.

In large files (400+ lines), app freezes when deleting 10 text nodes or more of highlighted code.

Eg.

Before:

A
\nB

After deleting "B":

A

Expected:

A
\n

Currently hover handling and delay are handled with CSS animations. This can be a bit buggy at times, so I think it would be better to use Javascript here. Using Javascript would also provide more control over the arrow states.

When opening binary files, Codeit should try to display the file. For example, an image would be displayed in a Live View window.

However, if Codeit can't recognize the file type, a message can appear notifying the user:

Hmm..
We can't read that type of file. You can download it if you'd like.
[Download]

In extremely long files (1000+ lines or more) typing is slow.

Fix: Override typing with Range API.

What if you could view or follow an organization from Codeit.
Like seeing a user page, but you can also see their repos.

It would be nice if you could change the tab length in a settings page.

Search activity by relevance.

Search can be launched using either a button or Ctrl/Cmd+F.

Activity is sorted by files, and is saved in localStorage. Files in activity have scroll and caret position history, clipboard values, location in project, autosaved contents, edit history, time of last interaction, and so on.

Search displays results in an autocompleted list.

Search is sorted by relevance, which is determined by files in activity.

Search includes, but is not limited to:

• Code
  • Code from currently active file
  • Code from clipboard and it's history
  • Code from files in project
    • Variables and functions (including JS anonymous functions)
  • Code from other projects
• Files
  • Files from currently active project/repository and from other repositories
• Line numbers of currently active file
• Repositories
  • Repositories from currently active user
  • Repositories from other users

You can access this feature by pressing Ctrl+F (Cmd+F on Mac).

This would be like Grammarly's tone detector, but for code. It could rate the quality of your code, suggest improvements and even output an ESLint configuration.

Eg.

{
\t {}
}

Should turn into:

{
\t {
\t \t
\t }
}

But turns into:

{
\t {
\t
\t }
}

The same for deletion of tabs.

Reduce comments to be less visible in order to differentiate code from comments

When pressing "Page up"/"Page down" on desktop, the editor scrolls horizontally, obscuring the line numbers.

Editor should tab when selecting text and pressing tab. This doesn't happen.

Use CSS scroll snapping and enable sidescrolling back and forth from the editor to the sidebar on mobile.

Codeit works fine for files with spaces, but it does not behave correctly when a file with tabs is loaded.

When devs try to press CTRL/CMD+S in the editor, perhaps the console should display a funny message.

Eg.

Before:

console.log('a');

After:

"console.log('a');"

Commit flag is unavailible after editing in PC mode.
When loading another file and going back to the edited file, the changes not saved

Response header: cache-control: private, max-age=60.

Solution: cache Github API requests 1 minute after commit.

Add developer keys to the keyboard (eg. TAB, brackets, quotation marks) and remove unnecessary ones.

Developers are always paranoid about whether they copied something or not (me included).

What if Codeit displayed a butterbar message when you copied something, a message along the lines of:

✅ Copied!

I have a feeling this would save a lot of headaches.

The ability to switch branches in a repository.
