“I wish I had heard about Typesense earlier”.
We kept hearing this from new users. So we decided to do something about it.
We just launched HUNDREDS of billboards all over San Francisco.

Seriously.
@Typesense might be one of the most underrated tools in modern infra 💥
You get:
→ Typo-tolerant search
→ Faceted search
→ Vector / semantic search
→ Fast response times
→ Optional self-hosting etc..
An @algolia-like API experience at a fraction of the price 👀
🚨 SCALING YOUR APP'S SEARCH SHOULDN'T BE THE SCARIEST PART OF YOUR TECH STACK.
I’ve been there.
Fast search is great, until scaling brings ops bloat and unpredictable pricing.
This is where @typesense FLIPS THE SCRIPT 🔥
Open-source and self-hostable 🧵↓
It’s written in C++ and ships as a single binary.
It delivers the premium search experience your users expect, without the massive ops burden or SaaS tax.
Why devs are making the switch:
➔ Open-source freedom: Host it yourself or use their managed cloud.
➔ Premium speed: Lightning-fast, instant search across your core data.
➔ Native typo tolerance: Handles misspelled queries beautifully out of the box.
➔ No ops bloat: Easier to use than Elasticsearch, with zero JVM dependencies.
But the standout feature right now is their Natural Language Search.
Instead of forcing users to rely on rigid keywords, Typesense lets you connect an LLM that automatically translates conversational phrasing—like:
"cheap red shoes under $50 near me"
...directly into structured filters and search terms.
It’s a massive win for user experience, and incredibly elegant to implement.
Don't compromise on your search stack.
The best part?
100% free and open-source.

Imagine starting an open source project
You bootstrap it, and refuse to take venture capital
And then 10 years later...
You see your project's name plastered on 50+ buses in San Francisco
Surreal. Feeling.
I think we might be the only bootstrapped, 100% revenue-funded open source company that has ever pulled this off?
---

- Tens of Millions of OSS downloads

Our sponsor @typesense is giving away 4 free tickets to Blue Ridge, so we cooked up a little contest. ☺️ Write a haiku on the theme of “search” (interpret that however you’d like) and the 4 top-voted haikus will received a free ticket!

Working on Integrating @typesense - to make town search super-fast.
Stop paying more than you should at the pump.
Her is PumpWatch, an app for tracking petrol and diesel prices in real-time across Kenya.
As we approach the next @EPRA_KE review, stay ahead by comparing prices in every town and finding the cheapest station near you.

The best thing about our new "Things to Do" page is it is powered by one of our sponsors! @typesense is here to help you figure out your Albuquerque itinerary. 🚀
I added a fun new "Things to Do" page to the Blastoff Rails site. Albuquerque is a great place to visit and you will probably want to stay after the conference is over. 😉
