You might get better response if you changed the title to include "Show HN:"

Thanks for the hint!

Also, you might want to change the title so that it appeals to people outside the ML field. Not many devs are familiar with OpenAI Clip. Otherwise an awesome project, this is something I wanted to make myself.

Thanks again, yes. It seems I cannot edit or repost, I will try tomorrow again.

You have the option of deleting and posting again I think. Anyways good luck.

Wikimedia search seems to work better for most searches I tried, possibly because of the manual tags etc.

You might want to include examples where your search is better or just a faq on how to use it.

Nice idea though. It does seem to come in handy when you don't have descriptions of images. Eg: https://github.com/haltakov/natural-language-image-search

Thanks for the feedback! This is also something I noticed, I might try the newer models that are currently comming up. I also think the approximate nearest neighbor search might introduce some errors which is probably a good idea to check. It also really helps knowing the whole VQGAN+CLIP space, since you can optimize query strings in a similar way. For example prepending "a picture of" or adding some qualifier at the end like "unsplash" for a particular style.

An FAQ is indeed a good idea!
