- diego 15y agoThanks!
- sgrove 15y agoIt's amazing to think IndexTank (and similar API's) haven't completely taken over the startup world yet. I hacked on a few things with their API awhile back because of my experience integrating meaningful search into rails, and the time it took to sign up, read the API docs, and implement the code was way less than even beginning to setup Sphinx, or Solr, or whatever other masochistic delight's waiting to be released on programmers next. In the vision I have for the world, low-level stuff like real-time search will be pushed off onto API's exactly like IndexTank, and programmers will go on to solve much more interesting problems precisely because they can take it for granted.
- diego 15y agoThanks sgrove. It's probably because we're all engineers and only now starting to understand that focusing on building a great product is not enough. You have to learn how to make it known to the world :)
- diego 15y agoBTW, this is running on an AWS micro instance (cpu and memory comparable to a cellphone) but it doesn't matter because it's just a static html page using a jsonp API.
