Hi everyone. This is a hobby project I made with Nextjs. I often browse user comments on book-related pages on the Guardian website to see discussion about books I've read or to fi…

I use Pocket quite a bit. I've also recently cobbled together a CLI tool that lets me save discussion threads on Reddit, HN and Stack Exchange. Very much a beginner-level project b…

That sounds really cool, I hope you manage to work on it :) would love to see it

There's also https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc for for summaries of product characteristics but I'm not sure if there's an API or dataset.

Thanks for the kind words!

Will do that, thank you!

Yep, I'd planned to use something like autocomplete.js but that's something I'll explore after I've cleaned up the core python functionality. Thanks!

Thank you! Yeah I indented the headings but you're right, it looks better with the highlighting alone. That's a good suggestion about subheadings. I'll try to do something with reg…

Great suggestion! Thanks :)

Seems like the entry on Drugbank for insulin is "insulin human", which explains why it doesn't return an immediate match. The closest match using Levenshtein distance is "inulin" i…

Sorry about that. I've done my best to make sure my code works before and after pushing changes to production. I think it might be due to limitations on the hosting side as I'm usi…

Ah right, I'll have to tweak the CSS. Thanks a lot!

It's not usually this slow. I suspect the sluggishness is due to issues on the hosting end related to the spike in traffic. That said, I'm hoping by refactoring the code I can impr…
