But at that time I was working on other projects and couldn’t dedicate any time to it.
Now with Claude Code I’m having lots of fun vibe-coding a Tinder-like Nostr profile discovery experience, and even though there’s tons of things I’d like to improve in it, it’s time to share it with the community:
this is a very cool idea
i'm actually working at a paid gig right now building a matchmaking server back end for a recommendation/search engine for potentially suitable game and anime watching partners
one of my colleagues is using a text comparison engine called Vertex (i think it's a google project?) that probably might have some relevance since finding good npubs would mean searching their content, at least in part
i also have got a bee in my bonnet about finally implementing a full text search engine but probably the next big thing after that would be building a text similarity search index... i know it's probably decently performant in the python based system my colleague uses but i prefer to use one language toolchain to do everything if i can. GUIs are a big challenge for me because of this, which is another bee in my bonnet too, to master building web and electron style UI front ends (since this is probably the most universally supported UI system i could learn).
