Thank you ! Also http://vis.searchreddit.net to visualize search results.

Also http://searchhn.com for a realtime hacker news search. All of these demos are being rebuilt from scratch and hopefully will be out in a week.

I work for a networking company in bay area and a pretty complex major dashboard is built entirely with Vue. I have only heard good things about it from the developers.

Which in turn made me use Vuejs for this hackernews search that I have been building (http://searchhn.com/).

The documentation is excellent and Vue is well designed, it took a few hours from scratch to learn and build the demo (PS: Not a web developer)

I agree.. Just a small payback for something I personally use.

Yes.. as a bay area resident can confirm this. I switched totally to Lyft the past few weeks and have no issues finding a ride promptly. Also all drivers that I met seem to be driving only for Lyft.

PS: What convinced me to totally switch was this https://github.com/lyft/envoy, my way of saying thanks for the Lyft team.

The firebase API is excellent. I have been using that to keep http://searchhn.com up to date in real time.

Also big query is updated every day with all comments and posts. https://bigquery.cloud.google.com/dataset/bigquery-public-da...

This is what I started with to update the Searchera (https://searchera.io) index which powers Searchhn

http://searchhn.com is a small demo we have been building at Searchera (https://searchera.io)

Thanks.. Searchera is something that I started building as a side project. Been working the past few months on packaging it with proper API and plan on offering it as a hosted & on-premises search service.

Thank you ! It uses Searchera (https://searchera.io)

Uses HN firebase API to update a Searchera index.. and front end is a simple vuejs app.

This is cool.. the UI is awesome especially on mobile.

I have been building a version of this too.. with some additional facets to test a full text search engine. Will probably do a show hn one day.

2) IH has been a source of inspiration and motivation for me. Atlas and Stripe are on my list services that I look forward to use in the near future.

Not really.. Picking the right language in my opinion is very vital based on your use case. Especially if memory / latency and throughput are very important for what you are building.

For my project after a month in golang, I had to switch to C to avoid the GC pause. It also gave me total control over memory and made best use of CPU.

Will I choose C for every project ?, definitely not but based on what you are building, it is good to make that choice early on in the project.

> There are a few more frameworks I would have loved to try, including Polymer and Vue.js. There just wasn't enough time to do a deep dive with all of them.

I hope he gives Vuejs a try. As a javascript beginner, who tried Angular, Angular2, A bit of React and VueJS, I just loved the flexibility and approach of VueJS. I was instantly productive thanks to the amazing documentation and vue-cli that just worked out of the box setting up my project.

PS: Never really spent much time on React as I tried it after VueJS and did not feel like proceeding much further with my tests.
