hi orange page, author here. QMD is an implementation of the best practices that I picked up in meetings with teams that work in search and retrieval. I tried to make it not overkill and keep things local. Currently working on finetuning better models for query extension and reranking (finetune branch). Feel free to jump in help. Self written and AI PRs welcome.

I had an entire implementation that used a proper state machine but I couldn’t get it simple and small enough for this single file thing. The regexp chain is dumb but clear.

I've tried to eliminate language around being "too busy" from my vocabulary and attempt to replace it with "can't prioritize". That's sometimes a bit awkward, but really trains better habits. Sometimes I prioritize hobbies if I feel I need it, and doing this seemed fun and useful besides!

I agree, I ended up getting rid of it. Only one dependency is downloaded (via bash script) and everything is baked into the binary now.

GG would just say no and that's that. No hard feelings, that's what makes open source so great.
