This is cool.. the UI is awesome especially on mobile.

I have been building a version of this too.. with some additional facets to test a full text search engine. Will probably do a show hn one day.

Thanks and nice work! Are you using Algolia API?

Thank you ! It uses Searchera (https://searchera.io)

Uses HN firebase API to update a Searchera index.. and front end is a simple vuejs app.

Interesting. I didn't know that one. I use HN firebase API to feed an Elasticsearch cluster.

Thanks.. Searchera is something that I started building as a side project. Been working the past few months on packaging it with proper API and plan on offering it as a hosted & on-premises search service.

I can think of one particular early adopter - PR folks over at Uber. Also, good job on 'Last eternity'.

Didn't quite get what you mean about PR folks at Uber, but thank you for appreciating the eternal joke :)

Near real time monitoring of mass media is something that companies do for damage control and crisis management. It's done either by an in-house public relations team or by an external PR company. I thought it would be useful for Uber given how much negative PR they have to fight these days.

Hmm, type in "Knowledge" in search, no results. Quickly close tab.. Moving on...

The default time restriction is 24 hours, so maybe the UI could do more to emphasize that or change the default.
