Really awesome idea! Bookmarked it.

PS. Searching could be faster =(

Thanks for the encouragement! :)

I will definitely think about some tweaks to make it faster. I had to invalidate the cache (new version) like a week ago so the problem might at least partially solve itself. Also I might step over to some kind of document store instead of a transactional db in the future.

Search was speedy enough for me, 1 second at worst, no complaints here.

maybe the hn effect here but was really slow for me too, ended with "couldn't connect to server" the first time.

Cool idea though. my 2 cents: would be lovely to see a few popular searches or recent searches or at least example words to speed up the understanding of the concept; after selecting the languages.

Thanks good idea. I see a lot of people are entering movie titles, so I could add a search by movie feature. Or just make a better UI to make the intent clear (popular searches would definitely help in that).

By the way I am in the process of resizing the DB instance, it was not really ready for this kind of traffic. :/ So I hope service will be somewhat better shortly.
