The vector graphics are why I always seek this game out first in any arcade.

Wait. Did you never play Kaboom? Kaboom was awesome!

Hmmm. Should update more often than that. Let me check!

Algolia DevRel here. An amazing dev named Jeff Slentz did a full rewrite about a year ago, which is what the current search runs on.

The new search is currently in a private repo, but I can see about getting it turned public if people would like to peruse the code.

Yup. Definitely not for the first or last time, either.

DNS is reverted and should be back up based on your local TTLs/caching.

Sorry about that, everyone!

Nope -- we're global. Paris, Sydney, SF, London, Austin, NYC, Belarus -- and lots of remote rolls. Send me a resume if you're looking!

Correct. We run it as a managed service now -- it's free for technical blogs and documentation sites.

It's mostly a tech-stack update, but it resolves some longstanding edge cases in the search UI as well. I'll try to get a changelog when we have it up and running.

Algolian here -- We were rolling out a new version of the HN search but accidentally swapped over the DNS before we were ready.

I've got a group of folks over here working to restore the search. Sorry for the downtime, but it's nice to know the search is useful to so many!

This is cool! Let me know if you'd be interested in using Algolia for the search piece. It would be a fun implementation and should fall under the not-for-profit program.
