Working with the Storage API

/ / No Comments
Earlier this year at WWDC, Apple announced a whole set of new features coming to Safari in version 17. While that is not out yet, it’s still a pretty large set of updates.

While I like Algolia a lot, I haven’t really dug terribly deep into it. I went through multiple iterations of my implementation here to help deal with the size of my content and so forth, but outside of that, I kept the actual search experience nice and simple. This week, I gave a talk at the Jamstack_Berlin user group on search options for the Jamstack and that’s got me thinking more about both Lunr and Algolia. One of the things... more →
