Ask HN: Alternative Data to Google Search (Brainstorm)
I was inspired by https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20440079 thread regarding building a new search index. Technically it is feasible with CommonCrawl + cloud map reduce jobs. Clearly, you would be killed if you build google search, but I started thinking what kind of alternative data that you could build which could be valuable.
Here's some of my ideas:
- Ecommerce products ranking based on backlinks.
- Competitor analysis - most linked pages, total backlinks
- Most common scripts installed - you can see trending in integrations such as react, fb, intercom, etc. ( already been done, i know )
