Rust, because I’m lazy and I want a compiler that helps me out. Performance is a pretty neat bonus.

I’ve been using both Perplexity and Kagi for searching things, and it’s working out pretty well for me. The main thing that I find Kagi useful for is filtering to Fediverse results (which tends to be mostly Lemmy threads).
It’s pretty expensive though…
I really like the word you used, code smell. I often have a hard time expressing to co-workers in code reviews why something feels off, it just does.
If it was something self-hosted on the web, it may have been Clarity AI.
I’m trying out Kagi a little bit, and it has a federation search mode of some kind. I tried it for a search and it gave me results from Lemmy.
I don’t know yet how Kagi compares to Google in terms of results quality, I barely used it so far. It’s pretty expensive though.
I’d honestly choose a similar stack for the back-end. I have limited experience with Rust, but my impressions so far is that it’s a language that allows you to make changes with confidence that they’ll work. I feel like starting something in Rust is somewhat difficult, but contributing is relatively simple.
For the front-end, I don’t think the choice is as important, since I think that by virtue of being federated and being able to have multiple front-ends, it would almost be better for the front-end to be managed by other parts of the community. And I say that as a primarily front-end/developer-experience dev.
I would probably default to React since I’m familiar with it and it’s very popular, but would probably be tempted to experiment with something better.
Good to know! I’ve been thinking of switching my setup to Kubernetes, especially after dealing with some unstable services that need to be run in the correct order.
Awesome, I’m looking for frameworks like this, thanks for sharing.
