## What it is
CODELF is a search tool that helps developers solve the 'naming things' problem by searching real-world variable names across GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, and other code hosting sites. It also serves as a GitHub stars organizer and is available as editor plugins for VS Code, Atom, and Sublime Text plus a Chrome extension.

## Use cases
- find good variable names for my code
- search real-world usage of an identifier name
- name a function or class when I'm stuck
- organize and tag my GitHub stars
- look up naming conventions from open source projects

## When to choose
- you frequently struggle with naming variables, functions, or classes
- you want to see how real projects name similar concepts
- you want an in-editor naming search via VS Code, Atom, or Sublime Text
- you need to organize a large collection of GitHub stars

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose code search engine rather than a naming helper
- you need a tool with a permissive license - the license is non-standard
- you rely on discontinued editors like Atom without alternatives
