erdem VS hacn

Erdem (https://github.com/skytreader/erdem) is a small "media-center" webapp that I've been building. I'm also using this as an opportunity to learn React.

Over the years I've amassed a collection of video files with filenames similar but not exactly like, "Lionel Messi vs Miroslav Klose".

The actual data set is dirtier, can't be regexed, etc. A key property of my data set is that a name features in the filename of different files.

I made this to easily answer the question "Hey, I want to watch a video about Messi. I wonder what I have?"

So, being the computer scientist I am, I thought it'd be interesting to index the filenames. Hence, the indexer whose code I experiment with a lot; dirtier than usual, very "academic" style.

Then I realized all I need is a search function (which I have implemented already!). Life works. Maybe I'll keep with the indexer idea but just for something to play with.

P.S., I have words to say about React but this isn't the thread for it I guess. Been a frustrating experience so far. But well, that's why I used it in such a rough hack in the first place.

https://github.com/pj/hacn - kind of like a react monad written in F# using computation expressions. I'm slowly doing a rewrite of parts of it because it isn't very good.

Hacn: https://github.com/pj/hacn. It’s kind of like a React “monad” in F#/Fable using computation expressions. Control flow is a bit different, basically operations/effects can trigger re-execution of subsequent steps. Right now its alpha quality and any feedback is welcome.

Currently working on Hacn, which is kind of like a React ‘monad’ or DSL using computation expressions in Fable/Feliz.
