Goodbye, for now.
\nThanks for the fun!
\n\n hndex was a site to\n search the full-text of articles submitted to\n Hacker News. It served as my\n test bed to play around with data structures and algorithms related to\n inverted indexes. I explored the problem through the lens of linear\n algebra and found some interesting ways to compress its sparse boolean\n matrices. The site used no JavaScript and aimed to serve a page of\n search results in under 100 μs on a $10/mo VPS.\n
\n\n I'm retiring this project. I don't actually know if anyone is here (no\n logging ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯). It's been a fun hobby and a great\n learning experience. Perhaps someday I'll write up a retrospective and\n share its story. Reach out via\n email or connect with\n me on GitHub to get in touch.\n
