What it does

This repo creates a minimal, mostly-static, progressive Bible hosted at minimalbible.com. The basic gist is that a web-scraper saves the results to database, which is then used to statically render each chapter of the Bible. Dynamic navigation is done with JavaScript by caching the books and chapters to JSON. - barbinbrad/bible

  • Bible as RAG DatabaseJun 2026 · crosscanon.com · ▲166

    Made this in a free evening. Index an permissive license translation of the Bible (WEB) into a RAG database to allow returning passages of similar semantic meaning. Lots of fun. For example, "more money more problems" returns Ecclesiastes 5:9-13 which, I'll just say, is spot on.. "Moreover the profit of the earth is for all. The king profits from the field. He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he who loves abundance, with increase. This also is vanity. When goods increase, those who eat them are increased; and what advantage is there to its owner, except to feast on…

  • Talanoa▲345

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
