mellab··on Show HN: I made a mind map tool meant for large, detailed node hierarchies
I have to reply just because this is so bizarre. Just last night I had been conceptualising a product just like this in my head... right down to the “viewer” nodes which are a representation of their children. However I was thinking that instead of having a rich text node you would have a viewer node and each paragraph, heading could be its own node.

Algolia is a beautiful product but it’s expensive. At just 1 mil items you’re already paying 500 a month

Wow. I’ve spent the last three weeks building a custom search solution in Kotlin - in my case I’m using tokenizers from Lucene and using a radix trie as an index. I actually looked at using Bleve (another rust search lib) initially but it didn’t have the right language support

Glancing over this it looks like a nearly perfect fit for my use case I just wish I had seen this a couple of weeks earlier!
