Hey! I'm a val.town fanboy and I immediately thought about a workaround while reading the blog post:
What if I dumped every publics vals in Github, in order to be able to user their (awesome) search ?
So here is my own "Val Town Search": https://val-town-search.pomdtr.me https://val-town-search.pomdtr.me
And here is the repo containing all vals, updated hourly thanks to a github action: https://github.com/pomdtr/val-town-mirror https://github.com/pomdtr/val-town-mirror
- simonw 2y agoWell this is fun... git clone https://github.com/pomdtr/val-town-mirror cd val-town-mirror rg news.ycombinator.com Now I can ripgrep search public Vals, e.g. to see who's hitting Hacker News from a Val.
- pomdtr 2y agoYeah, and you can finally run/debug vals locally (kind of, the version query param is not yet supported)
- MatthiasPortzel 2y agoThat is, uh, one solution, to say the least. There’s a HN comment I’ll never forget where the commenter suggests that Discord move their search infrastructure to a series of text file searched with ripgrep, but Val.town’s scale is small enough that they could actually consider it.
- nbbaier 2y agoThis is great!
