Search is one of my favourite disciplines in computing. In 2024 I spent a lot of time working on a NoSQL engine that I called JameSQL. This tool now powers the search engine on my website. Designing search engine ranking systems is tricky to say the least. When I use my blog...

Artemis dense layout

This evening I added an idea I have had for a while to Artemis: a "dense" layout. By default, the Artemis interface appears in a single-column layout. The dense layout creates several columns. Each column from left-to-right shows posts for a given day. You can scroll down to...
