Hacker News Reader

Man I remember when the thread was active, the OP got contacted by 2 CEOs and a CTO immediately because his search was so blazing fast.

I wish I was half as good at building a program like him. Instead I'm here struggling building my own RPI4 Radio player =(

Don’t let your dreams be dreams.

The author did give some hints on how he built it, e.g. indexing/search is driven by Apache Solr on a couple of 20-core machines.

Regarding data ingestion you probably can look at some prior art like this: https://github.com/garysieling/solr-git

There are also some pretty decent books referenced in the Solr docs: https://lucene.apache.org/solr/resources.html

Yeah, and for even more context, it was CTO of Github! Wonder what happened there ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
