What Hacker News says

A few things. An implementation of bitfunnel search in Go which I plan to put into searchcode.com at some point once I get all the issues resolved and if performance is acceptable A command line search tool which brute forces with search ranking https://github.com/boyter/cs/ mostly for code but works pretty well for other things as well Atlassian Confluence Cloud plugins. Mostly out of personal interest and because there appears to be a good marketplace to produce mostly passive income there.
