I'm 20 something and I built my first production(closer?) search engine, I've been programming for last 8 years, now, but always wanted to have to work on a search engine, so I applied several times to Google - the only big tech search engine that provides beautiful results as a college student, but never got in, so one year after graduating I'm now working on my own search engine, with some obvious perks, but yeah, obviously it feels amazing, it's like large hadron collider of knowledge but compact.

So, if you test out the pre-release-pre-alpha-pre-proper-search version, do comment the feedback, I'll try to improve upon it.

Also thanks to people at https://sevalla.com who provided me free credit to work on this project after I utilized all of the other free credit programs by Google Cloud, Azure, Alibaba and AWS, few months ago.

Also, note that the version you're viewing is a product of 90+ hours of weekend work. After my startup started struggling with funding.

Thanks, and cheers.
