   I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but looking at ways to map concepts together with word2vec. E.g. so you could search "writing NOT code" and get literature, or facets more conceptually related to search results.

   It's a custom React UI + Semantic UI + D3 + Solr. If I had found Searchkit when I started this a year and a half ago, I would have used it!

   Thanks! I'm getting a ton of good feedback and lots of speaker recommendations, so the next version should be even better!

   Thanks! I think you'll get a better experience if you filter to "Technology" first, if you're using it that way. I'd like that to be more seamless, but haven't found a good way yet.

    Thanks for the feedback. The email thing should be better now. Agree on the relevancy issue, I'm working on ways to improve that. If you do a search that matches the closed captions, it will tell you where in the video the match starts

    There are about 20 factors right now, which I've been tuning over time. They are applied as I'm able to get the data for the talk. Here is a selection- 1. Is the publisher of the talk good? (whitelist) 2. Is the talk referenced in

    Really sorry about that. I pushed a change to hide it when it doesn't fit. That area of the screen is supposed to be an informational card, like you see in Google search results. When I have the data, it shows books a speaker has writt

    I'm collecting lists of speakers/conferences and doing very targeted crawling. There are a couple essays on the site (in progress) if you're interested in more detail- https://www.findlectures.com/articles&#x2

    Sorry, looks like a memory issue on the Solr server. I shut everything else down, so hopefully it holds!

    This is a really neat project. It'd be interesting to try to apply this to a full text search engine (e.g. so you could search for "writing NOT code")

    I agree. It's simpler, but it's also often a lot higher. In the AWS case, you can build an app that costs almost nothing to run, until you have usage. If you paid $10-$100/month for every component just for simplicity, a lot

    The metered, utility like pricing that Amazon does seems like it'd be compelling for a lot of SaaS products.

    For what this is worth, I've been getting email subscribers through HN and other programming forums for https://www.findlectures.com . At least anecdotally there seem to be a lot of programmers joining, despite not being nec

    One simple thing is to volunteer your time to build websites for non-profits, which I've done. If you have time, you can also build a useful side project. For me - Youtube and Reddit give a lot of weight to popular content. If you&#x2
