      Built ani in-browser site search for a few of my OSS projects this afternoon.
      
      Didn't want to pay someone to host this because the amount of data is small, so I just opted to create an index when building the site and lazy-load it on demand.
      
      Dunno how much it will get used but I like the UX.

      Dead quiet in the theater before previews.
      
      My 5-year-old whispers to herself: “We make movies better.”
      
      I ask what she means. She says: “That’s what they do here.”
      
      Took me a minute to realize she’d memorized the Nicole Kidman AMC monologue.

      Another great thing about Oaken: as I rip out old models, I have so much less finagling to do because with Oaken’s seeds, I only have a small dataset that’s logically broken up. So I nuke the old seeds, work on a single test until it passes; then the whole suite.
