CrawlChat

Added Deploy on Railway to @crawlchat You can deploy it with one click. It just need OpenRouter API Key. It was a lot of work, happy to add it 🚀

I am convinced that @crawlchat gonna be more and more developer and tech centric answering engine. In that direction, I added an option to add a Github repo to the collection and let the CrawlChat plan stuff for you. You can see in the image, it can also be used as a bot on Github PRs/issues. Or, your team can together plan out a task. It is very good and scans the code base deep! I have tested this on large codebases as well and it does very good job. I am sure this gonna be helpful for teams for mid size to large codebases.

I am a monorepo guy. I love it. When I started @crawlchat I didn't want to complicate my setup with workspaces and stuff. I did a simple hack and had npm install shared package with just symlinks. It works just fine so far! 11 months. Yesterday, I needed something simple. Run lint on all apps & shared packages on GitHub actions. As there was no common builder across apps, this was not so trivial. That's when I knew the time has arrived. I knew this day would come but didn't want to complicate stuff from day 0. I explored Turborepo and this is exactly what I want. A simple monorepo builder. Quickly got into migrating my repo to it. Mostly it was import path changes, package.json changes. And the result? I could remove so many redundant files per app. Now it is all common. Everything from root folder. Neat and clean. And yes, I could add the lint check just like that ;)

Love how @crawlchat categorises the questions and shows metrics on top of it! Better view on the kind of questions people are asking and how well the docs are written!

@LoicBerthelot @crawlchat would be of great help here. It does more as well - Answers repeated queries from docs - 360 view of what people asking & insights - Custom actions as you said to do specific actions

Here are the reasons Dmytro - Any one can build anything these days with AI. If someone is paying for it, its for running it, maintaining it, evolving it continuously - @crawlchat is for docs heavy software teams. It makes sense to open source it so that my distribution gets better - Trust increases. Its b2b and built by indie. I guess making the code open increases the trust factor - People who can pay will still pay. People who can’t pay will not pay anyways. In worst case they like it and refer it to others :) We are 30 ⭐️ now :)

This is what it takes to run CrawlChat locally! Should not take more than few mins to get started

Though numbers are not big, love this SEO trend for @crawlchat
