Whichlang is a rust library that detects languages. There were no Ruby bindings so I made one.

Hey everyone,

This isn't an announcement, just wanted peoples thoughts on this.

I think everyone knows searching the fediverse can be better. Googling doesn't work too well, etc. So I wanted to do my part and help out.

Indexing all posts, etc is quite a lot to handle, so I wanted to start small and just focus on video search. I've started indexing videos from Peertube and other video websites. (Even YouTube but this could be removed to just focus on independent sites)

I know Peertube has their own search engine for videos. I will be reaching out to them. Compared to my site I'm planning it'll have other video sources and be easier to use.

So that leads to feedback from you guys.

• What do you think about indexing videos posted on the fediverse and other independent platforms?
• Are there similar services?
• Am I just wasting my time?

cheap ≠ free Making nice things is difficult and time-consuming.

If we want people to make nice things for us, we have to pay for their rent and grocery bills and raw materials.

If you are spending less than $1 per hour on your entertainment (podcasts, videos, articles, games, books, etc.), consider finding ways to support creators and the infrastructure that supports them.

I made a quick plugin to open files found on Telescope inside Neotree:

local open_in_neo_tree = function(prompt_bufnr)
    local action_state = require "telescope.actions.state"
    local Path = require "plenary.path"
    local actions = require "telescope.actions"

    local entry = action_state.get_selected_entry()[1]
    local entry_path = Path:new(entry):parent():absolute()
    actions._close(prompt_bufnr, true)
    entry_path = Path:new(entry):parent():absolute() 
    entry_path = entry_path:gsub("\\", "\\\\")

    vim.cmd("Neotree close")

    file_name = nil
    for s in string.gmatch(entry, "[^/]+") do
        file_name = s
    end

    vim.cmd("Neotree filesystem reveal reveal_file=" .. entry_path .. "/" .. file_name)
end

require("telescope").setup {
  defaults = {
    layout_strategy = "vertical",
    mappings = {
      i = {
        [""] = open_in_neo_tree,
      },
....
