  1. canary

    Algolia alternative for technical docs (by fastrepl)

    got it. I will add some animation in default `canary-modal` implementation.

    just FYI - i's very easy to implement custom modal component and swap out the default one.

  3. litellm

    Python SDK, Proxy Server (LLM Gateway) to call 100+ LLM APIs in OpenAI format - [Bedrock, Azure, OpenAI, VertexAI, Cohere, Anthropic, Sagemaker, HuggingFace, Replicate, Groq]

    Canary is awesome! we use Canary for our doc search at LiteLLM (you can see it here: https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/)

    It's really useful to be able to specify the search space for a specific query (example: Canary allows search for the query "sagemaker" on our docs or on our github issues )

  4. shadcn/ui

    A set of beautifully-designed, accessible components and a code distribution platform. Works with your favorite frameworks. Open Source. Open Code.

    Opening up the search needs a softer animation. Take https://ui.shadcn.com/ as an example

  5. tinkerbird

    Client Side Vector Database

  6. Typesense

    Open Source alternative to Algolia + Pinecone and an Easier-to-Use alternative to ElasticSearch ⚡ 🔍 ✨ Fast, typo tolerant, in-memory fuzzy Search Engine for building delightful search experiences

  7. renoun-docs-template

    Documentation template based on nextjs, renoun, mdx and tailwind w/ shadcn

    No, it use different API with Algolia DocSearch.

    > Have been looking for a way to mock the service in development

    This is what I wanted too! So we have multiple providers, including `canary-provider-mock`. So you can use it to mock it in the dev.

    example:

    https://github.com/noxify/renoun-docs-template/blob/055b54/s...

  8. fast

    The adaptive interface system for modern web experiences.

    Example PR: https://github.com/microsoft/fast/pull/7031/files

    If you want hosted-search:

  9. InfluxDB

    InfluxDB high-performance time series database. Collect, organize, and act on massive volumes of high-resolution data to power real-time intelligent systems.
