• Launch HN: Diversion (YC S22) – Cloud-Native Git Alternative

  Congrats on the launch! It's always exciting to see more competition in the version control space. One question I have is whether you guys are better than: https://desktop.github.com/ This seems to do the exact same thing, be free forever, and have a more mature GUI that is also easier to use than regular terminal git.

• Ask HN: Can we do better than Git for version control?

  - Product designers for open-source hardware. Various design files, SVG etc. I’ve experimented with a “GUI only” git flow - just to see what is possible, so I could introduce the concept to others.

• Making a huge collection of PDF's searchable (They are OCR'd already)

  Recoll is free/open source (GPL) that can index PDFs and search them very quickly. It uses Xapian under the hood. I have over 165,000 documents indexed on an old laptop running Linux and can query them all in a split second. Source: 9 months ago

  + xapian which has been around a while, and while gpl licensed, is quite capable https://xapian.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

  Tangentially related if you need search without the clustering and high availability story of elastic search and friends I highly recommend Xapian. Its like the SQLite of search. Single library that provides the basic set of features you would expect in a quality search experience: facets, ranked search, boolean operators, stemming etc etc. https://xapian.org/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Need CLI tool that can handle large txt files and another tool that can conduct a lightning fast search of disk files.

  For fast searching, it usually requires indexing the files in question. There are a number of text-file indexing solutions, many of which use xapian, sphinx, or lucene/solr under the hood. Based on conditions (watching files/directories, cron jobs, new-mail triggers, etc), they'll add/remove files to the index, and you can then use a corresponding command to compose queries across that data. If it's indexed, it... Source: over 2 years ago

• Lawsuit filed alleging Google is paying Apple to stay out of the search business

  There is also xapian/recoll https://xapian.org/ which works great for "desktop" search. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
