  • lets-play-retro-games

    All the retro games you can dream off

    My friend & avid retro gamer Sara Vieira had compiled a great collection of retro games data for her awesome site letsplayretro.games, a Next app which already had a ton of great features. But one feature Sara still wished for was full-text search over not just games' names, but all their metadata, with the ability to prioritize (aka "boost") the highest-rated games in the search results.

  • SurveyJS

  • search-retro-games

    An app to search retro games data built with Xata and Next 13

    There is still a lot more Xata functionality we haven't had time to explore. Check out search-retro-games.vercel.app for an enhanced version of this project featuring:

  • client-ts

    Xata.io SDK for TypeScript and JavaScript

    Since every minute spent coding is one less minute spent playing NES, neither of us wanted to waste a lot of time on making this happen. That's when it dawned on me that I knew of a way to easily implement full-text, boosted search over her tabular data: Xata provides it out of the box!
