Sourcegraph
Sourcegraph is a fast, full-featured code search and navigation engine. Developers jump between it and their editor frequently while coding, and it integrates into their workflow via their editor, a global search hotkey, and via browser extensions for GitHub, Bitbucket, etc. It gives developers a modern, highly productive interface, and it has code intelligence
(hover tooltips, jump-to-definition, find references, etc) to make searching and navigation easier. It's also more integrated with the developer workflow: via the editor, code review tool, and code host.

Frontend:
