within my ken

there's a new member of the waow.tech family!

"ken" isn't only Barbie's man, its Scots for "know"

ok but what does this do

type in a query, get your "related" atproto records back!

you can share a read-only view of results for a given query!*

methodology

there's only 1 vendor here, fly.io for compute. how does it work?

you don't have to save the index if you don't want to. i just do because if i show up again, having creating new records, i don't want to wait for it to stream my CAR and re-embed everything. ken will incrementally index what is new if you save the index!

limitations and expansions

i will likely find a way to give this to @phi.zzstoatzz.io so it can find its own records on demand (it uses records on its PDS often for "global state things") but beyond that i have no immediate plans.

here's the code:

have a great weekend :)

P.S.

this is partially inspired by talking to @offline.arushibandi.com and @eagraf.dev about @habitat.network
