Hey Product Hunt! I’m Brandon Waselnuk, Co-Founder of Codex 😁 👋 Thanks to @mwseibel for hunting us! Here’s why we are here: What is Codex? - Website: https://usecodex.com - Extension: VS Code Marketplace - Demo Video: Codex in a Nutshell Codex is a VS Code extension that allows any engineer to attach comments, questions, notes or any kind of content to specific lines of code. This context follows your code as your team continues to build. Help your team understand your code base at a deeper level. Why us? @karlclement , @saumilp_ and I have been working together for 8 years now shipping over 50 products across the VC fund we worked at, our own agency, and our own projects. We’ve seen this problem constantly and decided to do something about it. The problem: The problem space we’re working on is collaborating on code, passive documentation through code block level context, onboarding and offboarding engineers into a code base. We found this problem on pretty much every software team we’ve worked on - you open a file and don’t know how something runs and have to start asking in #devops chats which leads you on a goose chase to find the engineer that remembers how the monolith runs. It stinks, and when you’re done you move on and finish your work, you don’t really capture everything you learned in DMs and leave it for other team members to learn from. The solution: We’ve created an extension for VS Code to allow any engineer to attach their internal knowledge to specific files or lines of code and share it with the rest of the team. - Onboard or offboard engineers into your code base 10x faster. - Take notes while you code and help your team understand how it was built. - Ask the right person a question, without disturbing their flow. - Share a direct link to a code block in VS Code instead of sending screenshots. How you can help: Your support means the world to us. Here are some things we’d love: - Introductions to remote or hybrid engineering teams - Shoutouts on Twitter, Tiktok or whatever is cool these days. - Use (Codex) today! We want all the feedback we can get 😄 THANK YOU! 😁 ✌🏻

Congratulations on the Launch Codex Team! Adding Context to the codebase, where it matters the most, is very clever. Product & Demo both look amazing.

Congrats @brandonwaselnuk @karlclement @saumilp_ on the launch! This fills in a need for code comments/discussions that don't fit into PRs that we otherwise would just have to send links in Slack to lines of code for!

No doubt in my mind the usefulness of the product or the Codex team's ability to execute on this 🎉 Congrats guys, stoked to see this come to fruition!

Congrats on the launch!

Hey @brandonwaselnuk @karlclement @domcoballe - congrats on the launch gents!

Looks like a great product! Congrats guys.

Such a great product! Codex helps make our remote-first future even MORE collaborative and enjoyable. Stoked to see this go live!

Congrats on the launch @brandonwaselnuk & @karlclement 🚀🚀👏👏

congrats!

Super cool. Looking forward to trying it!

Congrats on the launch! Product is super cool, great way to build context for engineering teams.

Looks cool! How / where is data saved?

Very cool! Especially in a remote world, I think Codex will help more teams get work done asynchronously without sacrificing quality. Congrats on the launch team 🎉

so excited to finally have a persistent record of all the conversations that happen around code directly in the codebase. congrats team codex!

I think this will greatly benefit startups who don't have the time to write great documentation. Context is king! Great work Team Codex. 😀

Awesome extension for vscode, much needed extension.congrats on your launching.

One of the biggest things that customers cared about when I worked at GitHub was the ability to find decisions made about code, quickly. It's not always easy to search through Pull Requests and commit histories to find the reason for a change. Codex makes it dead simple to ask and get an answer from the people who know the most about the code. Huge level up! Really cool to see so much progress getting made on the product. Congrats, team!

Congrats on the launch!! 🚀 🚀 Super useful product to give context and collaborate with your dev team :)

Congrats on the launch team! Very impressive to see all the work that went into this indispensable platform! Keep it up!
