I have been using https://github.com/jacktasia/dumb-jump to quickly jump to definitions.

I have been using https://github.com/jacktasia/dumb-jump to quickly jump to definitions. LSP is hit or miss; in some languages, it works great, while in others, the implementation is not so good. I have been thinking about a middle ground based on Tree-sitter. GitHub uses Tree-sitter to power code navigation, but unfortunately, I can't find anything good that I can use offline. Why is there no ctags equivalent powered by Tree-sitter?
