Wow! Thank you everyone for checking Runnaroo out. I shared it this morning mostly on a whim, and definitely did not prepare even close for the level of traffic being on the front page of Hacker News would bring. Runnaroo has been my solo side project for the last few months because I believed a better web search was possible, and I greatly appreciate all the constructive feedback. I am bringing the site down for the next few hours to address some issues, but will have it up again soon. Apologies for any timeouts!

Do you have a starter story or something? I'd love to hear more about your tech stack, how you source search results via api's, scraping, how much data on serps do you store or is it mostly just in the background via api's ? I can imagine being more like google would cost google amounts just to keep server farms of data. How are you managing server costs is your monthly bill huge or do you run it all on small infrastructure somehow? I've been wanting to ship anything besides doing my freelance work, but never get there, totally inspired to launch something this year. Thanks, for showing what one person can build!
