Shameless plug: I'm building lilit.dev, which is a "true" Java code intelligence on browser (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20228115" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20228115</a>).<p>It's true in the sense that the features like jump-to-definition/find-usage are accurate. This is especially important around overloaded methods and parameterized types.<p>A few days back, we recently launched parameter hints (blog: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20320481" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20320481</a>) and type info (tweet: <a href="https://twitter.com/tanin/status/1145502393708081152" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/tanin/status/1145502393708081152</a>).<p>We're looking for private beta users. Please let us know if anyone is interested :)

We will see again when it is out of beta.
Not sure if it's only me. I have not ever used jump-to-definition feature on my editor. 95% of the time I just use search. But in case of Github web, it makes sense because their search feature isn't on par with local text editors.
Very cool! I wonder why they wrote their own source code analyzer instead of building off of the language servers that already exist: <a href="https://langserver.org/" rel="nofollow">https://langserver.org/</a>
