I’m dusting off my hacker news search engine built on Vespa.

Having fun migrating to a new and better FastAPI backend. Also migrated to a Vue frontend.

I really enjoyed using htmx before. Now I want a clearer separation of concerns between frontend and backend without the html woven between the two. There are some tradeoffs, but so far it has seemed to help me in terms of guiding and leveraging AI augmented development.

Migrations seem very well suited to AI augmented development too. Lots of existing stuff to throw in the context and anchor the model.
