Me too. That's listed as an inspiration on the index page!

https://www.npmjs.com/package/bittorrent-dht is used on the server.
DHT crawlers/indexers already exist to perform that function; they crawl and store infohashes (+ metadata when they receive it) and allow users to search that metadata to return relevant infohashes

By announcing itself, the indexer makes itself more likely to be handed out as a peer to anyone else interested in that infohash. Every connection attempt it subsequently receives is evidence of another peer announcing or joining that torrent. In effect, it "baits" peers into revealing themselves

Great concept. Very Library of Babel[1] -esque.

I had a crack at a solution to this problem recently. It's pretty basic in terms of what it can do and not the most performant.

Even better, there is the new CSS `hyphens: auto;`. Browser & language support is not yet 100% though.

It's an implementation of the 'Library of Babel', as described by Borges in his short story of the same name. It is a library of every possible permutation of a limited alphabet, of books 1,312,000 characters long. The FAQ page [1] and the GitHub readme [2] explain it in much more detail.

A companion tool for the space sim game Elite Dangerous — useless to anyone that doesn't play the game. I have had a couple of donations from kind users.

One of the few subscription services I would happily pay more for, for the recommendations alone.

I have recently implemented a fairly complex workflow editor [1] at Northflank (https://northflank.com) using react-flow and elkjs. They make for a very powerful and flexible combination, great for our needs.

I agree that the Heroku developer experience has been second to none. I'm a front-end & DX engineer at Northflank and we're working hard to evolve and create a next-gen iteration of the Heroku experience anchored around 12 Factor Applications in a Kubernetes/cloud native era. We're getting very close, come and see for yourself: https://northflank.com. Some key features:
* As simple as `git push` to build & deploy services
* One-click addons for Postgres, Mongo, Redis, MySQL and more
* A generous free tier to get developers on board with minimal friction
* Great out of the box observability
* The option to set up pipelines for more complex build/preview/release workflows
