I had some week off work and spent some time fiddling with that side-project.
I enjoy it a lot, since I find it actually useful for discovering accounts worth following and threads worth engaging.
I hope you won’t find this post spammy, here’s the list of changes:
Complete redesign
Previous design was stolen from kukei.eu (web dev search index) and it didn’t really fit the stuff I’ve been adding recently.
The re-design is fresh out of oven, probably with some bugs and mistakes but well, just YOLOed it to ‘main’.
It’s an effect of all-weekend work, third actual iteration and I think it’s much better now.
Summaries
For certain browse categories (news, programming, technology) I take newest 1000 (or 2000) posts, throw it into an LLM model and ask for a summary in a form of “topics people are talking about”.
While it’s not super useful, it’s nice to get there once a day and see what’s up in the world. It’s better than most news magazine headlines “Google made huge changes in Google Home App. We know who’s affected!”
Banned
Previous update made categorization of each indexed post, with a possibility that some posts land in “banned” category (fraudulent, porn, phishing).
Today I decided to exclude those posts from search results as well (I still see creepy search queries in logs, I don’t want to deal with this).
That’s all folks. I hope you enjoy this piece of web as much as I do. If not, downvote the hell of this post and I won’t bother you again.
