I built haystack - natural language search engine for workplace technical knowledge.
I've been a software engineer for a few years now,
A few weeks ago I was scrolling through confluence pages trying to find ssh connection details to our jenkins second integration machine for 40 minutes straight, later I discovered my co-worker slack'ed me the ssh connection string *two months ago*.
A week later I started working on haystack - a search engine for workplace apps.. It enables you to search slack, confluence, jira, teams, sharepoint, github, and email in one place.
It supports natural language queries so a query like: "how to connect to integ2 machine?" yields:
haystack is self hosted and stores user data locally, it has a completely client-side version, and a a self-hosted docker container version - only you have access to internal docs, I didn't want to deal with security compliance headaches caused from storing user data in the cloud + I don’t want your internal docs/messages.
Rolled it out to my co-workers a week ago and they thought it's a hit, so I'm planning on releasing it publicly on March 2023.
*Early access*
More technical details are available on github, code released on March 23’:
Right.. Because out of a 100 tests it will run close to that number. when you change code most of the time only a handful of tests or less need to run.
