Watermelon is a Passive Documentation Search Engine serving both our GitHub app and IDE extension. Our set of plug-ins help developers understand code context, improve their coding velocity and merge PRs like a breeze.

We've built a search algorithm that indexes the most relevant passive documentation for a given block of code.

To obtain business context in your IDE, use this extension.

To obtain business context in your CI/CD, take a look at our GitHub Application

We use VS Code's telemetry library. The library respects the user's decision about whether or not to send telemetry data.

We also have settings to disable it.
