https://crowdview.ai - search engine for forums and discussion sites

Like many of you, I find Google results to be full of SEO spam and have resorted to adding "site:reddit.com" or "site:news.ycombinator.com" to all my queries (since 2015!). Otherwise, it's really hard to figure out "what does a genuine, real life human think about this thing?".

But limiting my results to just Reddit isn't ideal because so much great content exists elsewhere. Lots of great information and conversations have moved elsewhere, and niche forums are still alive on the web! But it's impossible to find these places because they rank so poorly on Google. So I built a search engine across a curated list of these, making sure to remove any kind of SEO junk (blog spam, listicles, etc).

There's also a chrome extension that surfaces these results alongside Google, so you don't have to remember to keep coming back.

Please try it out and share any feedback! (and if you're interested in this topic, join the Slack)

This is awesome! I'll be using it for sure.

Where'd you get your curated list of forums? Big search of running VBulletin instances? :)

A instant tech job search engine powered by Algolia, https://jsniffer.com/

It's been an on/off side project last 2 years.

Expected people to come with strong criticism on it, since it is far from done and the way that I capture metadata is not great yet.

Instead I received no comments, which I think it was worse haha.

https://hubdesk.io/. Create Github issues from emails and respond to them by starting a comment with "@reply". If you've got a side project, already use Github issues, and want to manage support emails the same as bugs. Easier and cheaper than signing up for a help desk SaaS.

https://github.com/shish/rosettaboy The same gameboy emulator rewritten in C++, Go, Nim, PHP, Cython, Python, Rust, and Zig (and WIP typescript); mostly to teach myself the languages and to compare and contrast their idioms. Also, when taken with a very large grain of salt, usable as a language benchmark (As with all benchmarks, there are lots of caveats - but as far as I’m aware this is unique in being “the same cod…

Very cool! Are you open to other people contributing PRs to add other languages, or is this a learning project and prefer to do it yourself? (I'm considering adding Crystal https://crystal-lang.org/)
