Hey everyone! Jimmy is hard at work getting through responses. If you want some reading while you wait, check out the source on Github. https://github.com/jimmified/

Quality code you got there, thanks for open source it.

Thought about this yesterday when searching for some tutorials. 10 years ago, they were made by enthusiasts for free. Now they are made by companies for money and is generally of lesser quality. I need Jimmy to guide me on the internet.

Ok, I don't understand what this is.

You're not missing much.

Jimmified is a JaaS (Jimmy as a Service) application currently operating the Jimmy search engine. When you make a search, a push notification is sent to Jimmy through the Jimmy Mobile app, which allows him to respond with Jimmy-curated search results. This may sound inefficient, because it is just about the least efficient way to operate a search engine.

This site was created as part of a running joke that replacing a computers job with a human is jimmifying it. The joke stems from a previous project where Jimmy minified the codebase for a Chrome extension by hand.

HN hug of death incoming. Poor guy.

In this case, the hug of death is his three-year-old nexus 5 melting.

There's also an expo client: https://expo.io/@adierkens/jimmified

This got some love. Wish I had enough free time to play around a bit more to do some crazt dev like this.
