Hey everyone,
I'm Jason and I work on Typesense (an opensource Algolia/ElasticSearch alternative): https://typesense.org https://typesense.org.
I recently learnt that the Linux Kernel I've used for the past 20 years crossed 1 Million commits and also turned 30 years old in 2021: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27014732 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27014732
I've been on the lookout for interesting datasets to build search interfaces with and with the 1M Linux commits milestone, I figured it would be fun to index all the 1 million Linux commit messages in Typesense and build an instant-search + browsing interface on top of it, especially to find interesting tidbits from the commit messages.
This site is the result of that effort, and a tribute (if I may) to all the hard work that has gone into a piece of software that powers a good chunk of the modern world and has personally been a bedrock for my journey into programming. Thank you Linux Kernel Team!
If you find any interesting commit messages & search terms, let me know and I can add them to the highlights on the site.

- dzonga 5y agobtw does typesense work on attachments e.g pdf's or office docs ?
- jabo 5y agoTypesense operates on JSON documents. So you'd have to first extract the data from PDFs / office docs into JSON and then index it. There are libraries that let you do the conversion: https://github.com/modesty/pdf2json https://github.com/modesty/pdf2json https://github.com/microsoft/Simplify-Docx https://github.com/microsoft/Simplify-Docx
