OMG, I'd love to fix that date picker. It is just so horribly broken, it causes me PTSD.

I would appreciate it. It’s such a joy to use, to share, and (admitting I haven’t) nice to see & share the code & configuration to feed algolia, on a more serious scale of us than I’m likely to use in a hobby project or find/grok/share another public example with code + data.

Had me scared for a moment that it was running Ruby 2.6 and Rails 5.1.7 in prod. :'D

FYI: The hn search index I'm seeing is about 9 hours old as of 2026-02-23T00:53:00Z. Is that right?

Hmmm. Should update more often than that. Let me check!

Both HN clients that I use are failing to load/update. I think they both pull data from the Algolia search endpoints.

Thank you

Please make it public
