Show HN: Movie lines at your fingertips with soundbite search
- filitchp 12y agoI've had a lot of fun playing around with this. Searching for my favorite movie sound clips is fast and slightly addictive. Lots of Schwarzenegger material, good stuff!
- joshmayhem 12y ago"You can't handle the truth!" love this app
- sperling75 12y agolove how it plays the clips
- JayKan24 12y agoGreat niche tool for some good laugh! Way to go Michael!
- ajvb 12y agoGreat idea, and impressively simple interface. Love it.
- jtownsend99 12y agoI've already shared countless clips, this is brilliant!
- bwanab 12y agoCool idea. But, I put in "Just when I thought I was out". The quote is from Godfather 3 which it didn't give, but showed me a result from the Sopranos (yes, it's there, too as a spoof of the original), but when I selected that result, it took me to the Simpsons.
- michaelq 12y agoI'll find and add that Godfather 3 quote. It looks like I accidentally referenced the wrong asset for The Sopranos, but the clip plays fine. I'll fix this with the next push. Thanks for spotting this.
- richardjordan 12y agoLove this. Always looking up movie quotes.
- keithba 12y agoNeat! How did you build this? What's the stack?
- michaelq 12y agoIt's a rails app using high voltage. After trying Elastic Search, I ultimately went with Algolia for the search.
- draz 12y agoI think s/he meant: where did you get the transcripts? How did you get the timing info for the vid/audio clips, etc. Great implementation!
- michaelq 12y agoAs for the clips, that was like 90% of the work. I didn't want mediocre results diluting the really good quotes. I was able to scrape some from abandon websites, but I had to capture most of them myself. There are about 22k in total.
