@maxthelion I have a custom layout, still qwerty because I don’t have enough to time to completely start learning to type from scratch https://t.co/pIo9IsRMEf

[Oliver Nightingale @olivernn]

@maxthelion Ha yeah, I got mine with easy mode, it has printed key caps

[Oliver Nightingale @olivernn]

@bleroy Nice work! I’ll put a link to your project in the docs, I think there a couple of ports now.

[Oliver Nightingale @olivernn]

@PeteM I anticipated a booze issue and stocked up yesterday!

[Oliver Nightingale @olivernn]

@PeteM Bourbon only from now on then I guess 🥃

[Oliver Nightingale @olivernn]

@logicandarchive Hey, glad that Lunr was useful in your project, let me know if you run into any issues in the future!

[Oliver Nightingale @olivernn]

@psychemedia That is understandable, just be careful that the tokens actually indexed by Lunr _might_ not directly match what is in the text, i.e. due to stemming etc.

[Oliver Nightingale @olivernn]

@psychemedia Hey, interesting work on using Lunr with jupiter notebooks. Let me know if you run into any issues using with Lunr, I can try and help. Here is an example of doing term highlighting btw - https://t.co/QiHBse8n5S

[Oliver Nightingale @olivernn]

@psychemedia I don't know if that is currently supported by the Python implementation though... cc @yera_ee

[Oliver Nightingale @olivernn]

@psychemedia Yeah, during indexing Lunr captures the position of terms within a field. By default these are not stored in the index because they increase the size of the index. It is possible to whitelist them though: https://t.co/cjB4AJ9ro0

[Oliver Nightingale @olivernn]

@raymondcamden You can dump the index as JSON and then store that anywhere, so you could use IDB for example to avoid a trip across the network. To actually perform searches though the whole index needs to be in memory.

[Oliver Nightingale @olivernn]

@raymondcamden Yeah, the size of the index is a big limiting factor, especially on mobile etc. I’ve been working on a more space efficient index format so at least getting the index to the client is less of an issue, so far getting ~30% reduction

[Oliver Nightingale @olivernn]

@raymondcamden Glad lunr won you over! Out of interest, what was it you were against?

[Oliver Nightingale @olivernn]

@Zizzamia If you get stuck or have any questions let me know and I’ll see if I can help.

[Oliver Nightingale @olivernn]

@BrianHulette Glad you like it! I had to rotate the picture of the moon to get the look I wanted.

@Ahmed_Ibrahhim @johtani @matschaffer @miyagawa This page has details on creating language plugins https://t.co/arN1PZU7oK

[Oliver Nightingale @olivernn]

@johtani @matschaffer @miyagawa There is a plug-in for lunr that provides Japanese support https://t.co/3TFBaEPqHX

[Oliver Nightingale @olivernn]

@ismasan It's a command line tool, but tig is pretty cool
