I wonder what's the backend of this app. BuiltWith doesn't detect much.

Edit - I really like the simplicity of search box (no JS):

    <form class="search" action="/search" method="get">
         <input name="query" placeholder="Search" type="search" required>
         <button type="submit"><svg> ..search icon.. </svg></button>
    </form>

Flask for web framework, Elasticsearch for search. The speed might be due to the fact that there is no JS / images on the front end.

Just had a conversation last night about SQLAlchemy support of NoSQL dialects like. I bet you didn't use a Model layer. Right? Is there anything you want to share in that regards?

Seriously. It was so fast I was convinced it was precaching results as you type but it's not. Would love to read a write-up on this.

I thought you and the other comments were exaggerating, but you're actually not. This feels impossibly fast from a user perspective. I'd love to see a write-up of this as well.
