Any (compiled) data that out there can be processed for [hot-topic-of-the-day]..? This line of thinking needs to die fast (at least in the US).*

Re:Show HN: A new search engine for finding leads on Monday February 19, 2024 @07:26PM (#39436566)
This is great, found a bunch of leads. Surprisingly accurate for the 3 languages I tried if the search is general enough. Quite limited when trying to find the website of a specific company.

Some feedback: -The industry filter should be case insensitive - perhaps an option to filter to 1 main url per company, had multiple searches where the same company occupies the top 2 results - the filter list "grows" when you do a search, then add new words to the search bar.

I wonder who paid the US$ 3,295 submission fee for this garbage.
If I were going to make a hard switch from apps I use (docs, sheets, todo, meet, ...), I would do so from the conviction I don't want vendor lock-in, and want to own my data. I like the concept. The Collection module seems powerful. Yet, I question the scalability - how long should users wait, for example, for a <tab> to be possible in a code block, in a notebook?

Since you're looking for feedback; - support markdown where possible, and include links like Obsidian, include Unicode completion like Julia REPL. Point and click is nice, but shortcuts/common syntax is expected, - support scripting via a modern language, - let users write plugins for modules / modules.
