Hi everyone! We're relaunching Crystal, which lets you search and analyze 300k+ government datasets using plain English. For example, prompting "Air quality since 2020 in NYC" will find the most relevant datasets for you. We find it's way better than any search tool out there today, like data.gov. We're hoping anyone who uses public data as a resource, like researchers, consultants, journalists, etc. will find it helpful. Crystal is straightforward - it's in alpha, so there's only a few queries per person, and the app itself is in its infancy. We're invested in making this better for people,…

Hey all, Throwaway in case this is assumed to be politcally motivated. I spent some time organizing the Eptstein files to make transparency a little clearer. I need to tighten the data for organizations and people a bit more, but hopeful this is helpful in research in the interim.

This is a website I developed in Crystal for hosting API documentation for Crystal shards (aka gems, crates, libraries, etc). It's built in Crystal itself and is using Postgres, Kemal, the built-in doc generation tooling, and Lexbor. I've been working on this for a number of months and I'm proud of where it's gotten. All feedback welcome! Repo: https://github.com/nobodywasishere/crystaldoc.info

We built Sortabase to let communities collaborate on visual databases of the things they know and care about. The fields of each database are defined by its moderators using a no-code drag-n-drop interface, and the resulting database is easy to search, filter, sort, and contribute to. The platform is 100% free to use - take a look, and feedback is appreciated!

Hey HN, it’s been just over a year since we launched HelixDB (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43975423), a project a friend and I started in college. It’s an OLTP graph database built on object-storage, with native vector search and full-text search (FTS). Why graph, vector and FTS? Graph databases provide a natural cognitive model for data, vectors allow for a semantic understanding of the entities and relationships in the graph, and FTS provides more specific filtering. Many AI-driven applications attempt to combine all of these functionalities by stitching together…
