What I Learned Building a Free Semantic Search Tool for GitHub and Why I Failed | Notion
Over the last few months, I have built and launched a free semantic search tool for GitHub called SemHub. In this blog post, I share what Iβve learned and why Iβve failed, so that other builders can learn from my experience. This blog post runs long and I have sign-posted each section. I have marked the sections that I consider the particularly insightful with an asterisk (*).
