Show HN: Subth.ink – write something and see how many others wrote the same

https://subth.ink/
9•sonnig•1h ago
Hey HN, this is a small Haskell learning project that I wanted to share. It's just a website where you can see how many people write the exact same text as you (thought it was a fun idea).

It's built using Scotty, SQLite, Redis and Caddy. Currently it's running in a small DigitalOcean droplet (1 Gb RAM).

Using Haskell for web development (specifically with Scotty) was slightly easier than I thought, but still a relatively hard task compared to other languages. One of my main friction points was Haskell's multiple string-like types: String, Text (& lazy), ByteString (& lazy), and each library choosing to consume a different one amongst these. There is also a soft requirement to learn monad transformers (e.g. to understand what liftIO is doing) which made the initial development more difficult.

This would be more interesting if it was generalized. Using a hash, even one character difference will result in a miss.

If I could have it analyze my blog and then find people who have similar ideas that would be incredibly useful.

Natural to use LM embeddings for this.

That is a problem Also a long paragraph would likely never be hashed the same because of a comma or capital letter and so the builder of this would need to cap the length of the thought and make all thoughts lower case without punctuation

I said "I love my wife". Apparently, I was the first. Then I said "penis". I was the fifth.

Neat!

"helloworld"

Your thought's hash is: 06ad246627b5f973559a1dbcf2a6b96791d9b15ed2d8cb45c344f98b14d10f76 Including you, 1 person had that thought already! First time was less than a minute ago, last time was less than a minute ago.

haha, cool.
