Try kandi at kandi.openweaver.com. Thank you for supporting the open source community, and happy coding!

kandi helps you build applications in open source in three ways.

1. Develop Custom Functions Faster

kandi helps you build use cases and custom functions. It helps complete your application faster through open source library and code snippet reuse. You can look up the use case, get the code, install the dependent libraries, and complete your function.

You can develop a custom function by:

  • Describe the custom requirement or function you are looking for in natural language.
  • Check out the code snippets and dependent libraries and review their licenses. You can directly copy the code snippet to your IDE.
  • Copy the install command from the dependent library or click on the library to review it in detail and copy the install command.

You can also filter and review code snippets and libraries with kandi. You can use the Save icon to save the library or code snippet to your space, where you can work on and provide a solution or refer to it for later use. You can also share guides, libraries, and code snippets with your colleagues and friends to help them.
