Classes.wtf
A course catalog with extremely fast full-text search
Overview:
The Classes.wtf project aims to address the issue of slow and irrelevant course search results in online catalogs by providing a high-performance, distributed search engine written in Go. By focusing on speed and quality of results, this project offers users a faster and more useful experience when searching for classes.
Features:
- Custom, distributed search engine in Go: Designed for speed and quality of results.
- In-memory Redis database: Supports full-text fuzzy and prefix search on all fields.
- Static website built with Svelte: Processes search queries immediately after every keystroke.
- Geographically distributed replicas: Ensures low latency by routing requests to the nearest server.
- Svelte
Svelte is a modern front-end framework that compiles your code at build time, resulting in smaller and faster applications. It uses a reactive approach to update the DOM, allowing for high performance and a smoother user experience.
- Vite
Vite is a build tool that aims to provide a faster and leaner development experience for modern web projects
- Tailwind
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that provides pre-defined classes for building responsive and customizable user interfaces.
- Postcss
PostCSS is a popular open-source tool that enables web developers to transform CSS styles with JavaScript plugins. It allows for efficient processing of CSS styles, from applying vendor prefixes to improving browser compatibility, ultimately resulting in cleaner, faster, and more maintainable code.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
