If you are seriously hoping for this to be a full time business then I would strongly recommend you read "The Lean Startup" or similar. This blind technical pursuit of perfection is a pretty classic approach for us techies and something i'm guilty of myself. It was actually that process that made me realise what my strengths actually were and what I would need to do to start a world class company (work with great people).
If this isn't really a commercial project then just ignore the above and happy hacking, perhaps you should consider open sourcing it?
- orangethirty 13y agoI'm always telling people here about how they should sell first, and code later. This project has been challenging in that regard, but I have been spending a lot of time figuring out the business aspect of search. It is challenging because one of my main goals is to respect privacy. These days, violating the privacy of the users is a sure way to cash in. But I don't want to do that. As a result, I've had to write a couple of versions to see how it would work out. My current plan incorporates a product line right into the stack. That way, if/when the time comes, I can focus on writing the necessary parts. No need to scramble and try to make it fit. I do follow the lean principle. But one cannot blindly adhere to them. Nuuton is not the sort of project where you just try and get something to work. There had to be a foundation first. But from now on, development will follow the build-measure-learn cycle. I am open sourcing parts of it. Mostly Go libraries that might result from developing it.
