Thank you ! Also http://vis.searchreddit.net to visualize search results.

Also http://searchhn.com for a realtime hacker news search. All of these demos are being rebuilt from scratch and hopefully will be out in a week.

I work for a networking company in bay area and a pretty complex major dashboard is built entirely with Vue. I have only heard good things about it from the developers.

Which in turn made me use Vuejs for this hackernews search that I have been building (http://searchhn.com/).

The documentation is excellent and Vue is well designed, it took a few hours from scratch to learn and build the demo (PS: Not a web developer)

Thank you !

I agree.. Just a small payback for something I personally use.

Yes.. as a bay area resident can confirm this. I switched totally to Lyft the past few weeks and have no issues finding a ride promptly. Also all drivers that I met seem to be driving only for Lyft.

PS: What convinced me to totally switch was this https://github.com/lyft/envoy, my way of saying thanks for the Lyft team.

This is awesome ! Congrats..

The firebase API is excellent. I have been using that to keep http://searchhn.com up to date in real time.

Also big query is updated every day with all comments and posts. https://bigquery.cloud.google.com/dataset/bigquery-public-da...

This is what I started with to update the Searchera (https://searchera.io) index which powers Searchhn

http://searchhn.com is a small demo we have been building at Searchera (https://searchera.io)

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.

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.

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.

2) IH has been a source of inspiration and motivation for me. Atlas and Stripe are on my list services that I look forward to use in the near future.

Congrats! I have always loved and been inspired by the stories at IndieHackers.

Google cloud platform has many free offerings..

Not really.. Picking the right language in my opinion is very vital based on your use case. Especially if memory / latency and throughput are very important for what you are building.

For my project after a month in golang, I had to switch to C to avoid the GC pause. It also gave me total control over memory and made best use of CPU.

Will I choose C for every project ?, definitely not but based on what you are building, it is good to make that choice early on in the project.

> There are a few more frameworks I would have loved to try, including Polymer and Vue.js. There just wasn't enough time to do a deep dive with all of them.

I hope he gives Vuejs a try. As a javascript beginner, who tried Angular, Angular2, A bit of React and VueJS, I just loved the flexibility and approach of VueJS. I was instantly productive thanks to the amazing documentation and vue-cli that just worked out of the box setting up my project.

PS: Never really spent much time on React as I tried it after VueJS and did not feel like proceeding much further with my tests.

Totally agree and I personally am interested in this too. I understand it is difficult to mentor everybody but an official 'Mattermost' room or better a discourse community will be very helpful too.

Teams actively pursuing a startup and who have been chosen for founders track get split into groups, with a group advisor and a Mattermost room.

It will be of great help for the folks who applied and did not get selected to have access to an official 'Mattermost' room to build a community of like minded individuals keen on entrepreneurship to share information and motivate ourselves.

This is cool ! How does it compare in size and power generation to a modern upgright wind turbine ?

Thank you.. Yeah the current UI sucks Im sorry :(.. just search for a post that you know is in your domain and choose the domain checkbox on the right. You can then change the search text or any other filters after that.

Will probably fix the UI this weekend and do a proper 'Show HN' with more options, charts and analytics.

Thank you all.. I am finally getting some search requests. I applied for startupschool and was desperately looking at the logs everyday for someone to try it out :)

With 50K plus amazing companies that applied, it is very difficult to stand out :( Slowly building a team with some of the best engineers that I had the pleasure of working with to take this to the next level. We badly wanted to get into the startupschool to help guide us and get us to the next level. Wish we were part of the program, but glad everybody gets to view the lectures :)

Yes.. this will take a very long blog post. This started many months ago as a project to learn 'golang' and as a way to index my everygrowing collection of music / movies / documents / subtitles / lyrics and everything on my servers.

Got hooked into it and became obsessed with speed and rewrote everything in 'C'. Replication is based on 'Raft', actually the multi raft variant proposed by the amazing folks at Cockroach (https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/scaling-raft/)

It does not use a backend framework. It is a simple http/https server (epoll + multi-threaded) which talks json. I use Jansson for json and utf8proc for unicode handling. Index is custom built.

I have been working on low powered distributed systems for over 10yrs, which certainly helped. Will definitely let you know when I get that blog post written :)

Thank you !

Backend is custom built written in C and assembly. Supports sharding and replication which is rack aware and data-center aware.

> can third party sites integrate your search service?

Yes of course.. that is the end goal.

Algolia is awesome.. but you end up paying a lot based on how many ways you sort / rank data. This operates with an on-the-fly ranking model and rank on any field in any direction. Also different ranking algorithms, extensibility with Lua and a lot more when I officially do a showhn

Thanks.. yes that is something I'm planning. Keeping the engine super flexible. Currently does TF-IDF, Okapi BM25 or an Algolia like tie breaking algorithm.

Project: Hosted & On-Prem fast full-text search with faceting, filtering, multiple ranking algorithms and plenty of other features.

Not yet ready for launch but built a simple demo trying to get into startupschool ( failed unfortunately :( ), which lets you search every hackernews post while letting you filter based on domain / user / story type.

Thanks.. wish an official not-promising startup 'mattermost channel' was present.. but this is a good alternative for now.

Sorted by number of founders in a company:

2 609

1 422

3 209

4 60

5 19

6 3

7 2

Thanks.. wish we had got in.. Hopefully this is not the final list. The json data is nice, wish the company description was part of it too. Will be fun to analyze.

If you have a copy of the results, that will be awesome ! Thanks !
