• What contributing to Open-source is, and what it isn't

  I tend to agree with this sentiment. Many junior devs and/or those in college want to contribute. Then they feel entitled to merge a PR that they worked hard on often without guidance. I'm all for working with people but projects have standards and not all ideas make sense. In many cases, especially with commercial open source, the project is the base of a companies identity. So it's not just for drive-by ideas to... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Bootstrap or VC?

  Bootstrapping only works if you have the runway to do it and you don't feel the need to grow fast. With NeuML (https://neuml.com), I've went the bootstrapping route. I've been able to build a fairly successful open source project (txtai 6K stars https://github.com/neuml/txtai) and a revenue positive company. It's a "live within your means" strategy. VC funding can have... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: What happened to startups, why is everything so polished?

  I agree that in many cases people are puffing their feathers to try to be something they're not (at least not yet). Some believe in the fake it until you make it mentality. With NeuML (https://neuml.com), the website is a simple HTML page. On social media, I'm honest about what NeuML is, that I'm in my 40s with a family and not striving to be the next Steve Jobs. I've been able to build a fairly successful open... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Are we at peak vector database?

  I'll add txtai (https://github.com/neuml/txtai) to the list. There is still plenty of room for innovation in this space. Just need to focus on the right projects that are innovating and not the ones (re)working on problems solved in 2020/2021. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Show HN: Open-source Rule-based PDF parser for RAG

  Nice project! I've long used Tika for document parsing given it's maturity and wide number of formats supported. The XHTML output helps with chunking documents for RAG. Here's a couple examples: - https://neuml.hashnode.dev/build-rag-pipelines-with-txtai - https://neuml.hashnode.dev/extract-text-from-documents Disclaimer: I'm the primary author of txtai ( - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• FlowDiver: The Road to SSR - Part 1

  Disregarding props-drilling technique in favor of a more reliable and elegant solution we looked for inspiration elsewhere. Another project of ours .find was using Typesense/Algolia components, which looked a bit like black-box/magic, but at the same time provided a clean approach to build complex and highly customizable solutions. - Source: dev.to / 25 days ago

• Open Source alternatives to tools you Pay for

  Typesense - Open Source Alternative to Algolia. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• DNS record "hn.algolia.com" is gone

  If you like your penny take a look at Typesense https://typesense.org/ - nothing to complain here. Especially nothing complain about pricing. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Obsidian Publish full text search

  I haven’t used Publish, but I’d assume you could use something like https://typesense.org/ to index and search the vault. Source: 11 months ago

• DynamoDB search options

  A cheaper option would be to use https://typesense.org. You can use DynamoDb streams to automatically load records. It has worked well for me. Source: about 1 year ago
