Show HN: Muler, a search engine for drug info built with Flask

Thats alright. I should have been more specific. I did upvote your post and I got downvoted - woohoo.

Congratulations on a very nice hobby project, and reaching the front page of Hacker News!

A few questions though:

- is the indentation of section headings, such as "Indication", "Pharmacodynamics", etc, intentional? The yellow highlight seems to take care of the emphasis on its own. It feels, to me, it should either be one or the other.

- when sections (e.g. "Pharmacodynamics") include clear points of emphasis within them (e.g. asterisks for bold), then could those perhaps be rendered as sub-headings for increased readability? An example can be seen when searching for "codeine": https://muler.pythonanywhere.com/codeine

This is pretty good, nice work! I think you're spot on that sometimes you just need a simpler overview of info.

One thing I've noticed is that the first line under the drug name, I guess is the category? Some of them are probably a bit more specific than they need to be, like ibuprofen: https://muler.pythonanywhere.com/Ibuprofen

You could take the summary from DrugBank instead of a category, but that might have other issues too.

Either way, I'll probably come back and use this in the future!

Is the markdown in the descriptions supposed to say unrendered? I'm seeing quite a phrases with ** around them, which would normally indicate bold text.

Very nice. As others have said, the sections that start with headings inside double asterisks ("*") should be set off somehow. I would suggest a paragraph break, with the heading either on a separate line or on the same line with some distinguishing typography such as bold.
