FWIW, I just spent a minute on the Github page (a normal amount of time for something like this) and had no idea anyone could upvote and downvote links until I read the GP comment. In fact, I just searched the Github page for "reddit" and for "vote", and found nothing.
I don't know what this product is or does. Does it run locally? Is there a hosted version available? How is it different than DuckDuckGo or Startpage? Is there a voting feature, as the GP says?
A voting feature would make it interesting to me with one major caveat: It depends on who is doing the voting. For example, if I could restrict voting to HN users then it could be a very useful way to search for tech or for many intellectual topics but not for housing in Tokyo. A random subset of the general public's votes on tech topics would not be useful to me as a professional. Political topics seem like a minefield.
- brentadamson 9y agoThere's a link at the top of the GH repo: https://www.jivesearch.com/ https://www.jivesearch.com/. You can also run it locally. This is different than DDG/Startpage, etc in that everything is open source. I think I have a good start on the instant answers: "shaquille o'neal height", "weather", "matisyahu discography", etc. To my knowledge neither has Wikidata instant answers.
