Semantic search engine for Studio Ghibli movie

Hi HN! I built Ghibli Search, a semantic search engine for Studio Ghibli movie scenes (e.g. Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, Howl's Moving Castle, etc.). Describe a dreamscape like "flying through clouds at sunset" or upload an image, and it finds visually similar scenes from the films. Live demo: https://ghibli-search.anini.workers.dev/ Full Cloudflare stack: Workers, AI Search, R2, Workers AI Open source: https://github.com/aninibread/ghibli-search Would love feedback on the search quality and any ideas for improvements!

Semantic search engine for Studio Ghibli movie launched on January 21, 2026 with 46 votes, #564 of 14,584 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches.

In plain words

Ghibli Search is a semantic search engine that lets users find visually similar scenes from Studio Ghibli films like Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, and Howl's Moving Castle. Users can describe a scene in text, such as "flying through clouds at sunset," or upload an image to locate matching moments across the films. The tool uses AI-powered visual matching to connect user queries with actual scenes, making it useful for fans, artists, and anyone seeking specific visual references from these animations. The project is open source and built on Cloudflare's infrastructure.

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
