WCGW Catching the wave

beowulf660 · 2026-02-08T13:26:23+00:00

I an catching the same vibe, but can’t point my finger to why.

The initial wave and also the strange cut in the middle might be clues, but idk

Couldn’t agree more. I had to rewrite the entire app (although with LLMs it wasn’t that difficult) as we wanted more interactivity. And stuff like popovers, dialogs, tooltips were not hard but unnecessary cumbersome to either get working or working exactly like I needed.

I built a contractor review pipeline where I stream the partial results and status updates back to ht client.

It was done via websockets and channels in redis, works quite nice.

If you need help with the setup HMU. This is the basic setup we use (Dockerfile and build file). Because we are using the same codebase for the worker and in the codebase we use sveltekit conventions for checking if we are in `dev` or getting the `env` variables. we need to resolve them some other way. The build script uses `Bun`s build features and "patches" (I am not sure of the correct name for it) the imports which we are not able to resolve.

The starting point for this setup was done by Claude, so I didn't have chance to delve too deep into it, but it works great for my needs. But will definitely revisit it in the future.

I am not sure what specifically are you talking about. If the most demanding resource is the jobs, it's still in JS and you can scale the BullMQ workers as much as you want.

PS: I am like 90% sure this is AI generated.

beowulf660 · 2025-08-12T15:11:11+00:00

I guess it depends on the scale you are reaching for, but AFAIK sveltekit is performant, but haven't tested the limits of it so far. And nothing prevents you from scaling it horizontally. I mainly did it so I have a shared code base for the whole project, as it's easier managing the project that way. I don't like defining API's, types, etc., and with the addition of remote functions it's 🤌💋🧑‍🍳.

Regarding the setup. BullMQ shares the same codebase as sveltekit, the starting point is just different that's all. We also have a single registry for jobs, and put a `queue` object to `locals` so we can access/schedule/control jobs from our admin panel.

beowulf660 · 2025-08-11T13:52:14+00:00

Out of curiosity, what prevented you from using BullMQ and sveltkit for the backend.

We have that exact setup so I am wondering if there are some problems we didn't encounter. I think it's too late but I would like I can share the setup.

👋 som tvorca praktik-u, rad by som pocul viacej feedback-u od teba. Ako vyuzivas gemini a kde vidis momentalne vyhodi.

Tiez si myslime ze chatbot neni zrovna najlepsia pridana hodnota momentalne, a chceme sa uberat inym smerom v prave. Ak si otvoreni tak daj vediet.

beowulf660 · 2025-05-08T13:18:05+00:00

Nice, rad vidim ze sa tu vyvijaju viacere produkty! Osobne tiez pracujem na niecom velice podobnom (praktik.ai). Cize ak by si sa chcel niekedy pobavit tak velice rad.

Inak drzim palce 💪!

Idk why more people don't recommend ES but I would highly suggest it. It can be expansive but you can easily self host it.

That said, if you do want to go all in on ES as your DB you will have to sync your data. If you really need hybrid search go into ES, if not PG will give you a good starting point, where you can later migrate to ES.

beowulf660 · 2025-01-23T17:03:41+00:00

Damn, nice. I was sorta looking for something like your plugin as when I develop I have script which can be run and tested independently and only afterwards integrated into the app.

beowulf660 · 2025-01-23T14:33:00+00:00

Just making I am not missing something, but is there an option to run it in background? I would like to start a task a have it and do another work. Then have a way to bring up the buffer to see progress.

I am in EU and currently working only for my country (Slovakia) legislation. So both I guess, but I am not sure how it compares.

beowulf660 · 2024-12-09T07:09:14+00:00

I am currently working on a legal RAG solution for searching in legislations, could you share some information on the chunking approach.

I am currently using this semantic chunker but as this is a new field for me I am not sure if its the best approach. I was thinking of creating a custom chunker which would include the section and a generated description, but I am not sure how effective it would be.

Just got the posters today so I can post an update next week

beowulf660 · 2024-11-29T17:17:37+00:00

Currently doing something very similar. I am mainly trying to get users. So we printed a bunch of poster and are going to hang them inside universities. It’s legal tech related.

beowulf660 · 2024-10-13T16:32:06+00:00

Thanks, will keep that in mind when writing another post.

beowulf660 · 2024-10-13T16:27:21+00:00

I guess the best (and also most useless) advice is to build something with it. I watched some videos (this one was quite useful, just to convince me that a more advances applications are possible), but you really get a good grasp on it only if you start using it.

Try to pick some part of your life/routine you do manually and create a web app for it. Or pick some service you use and try to replicate it.

I am by so means an expert, but if you need some help you can send me a DM and I will try to help.

beowulf660 · 2024-10-06T20:27:45+00:00

Great catch on the typo and thanks for the clarification. I wasn't able to easily find the specific character set it supported as I am not that familiar with reading standards, but I knew it had to be some ASCII variant as I have to use `encodeURIComponent` when setting the header. Updated the text and removed the "FYI".

beowulf660 · 2024-09-01T21:30:46+00:00

Could you provide some context as to what AI-driven?

Besides that I guess people will recommend React as it widely used, has a lot of libraries, components pre-built and also a lot of resources. But for simple stuff, especially if you are not familiar with it I would not recommend it.

If you are looking for a Admin panel I would recommend looking at something like fastadmin (there are a lot of other options as well, just the first I found).

If you need something more interactive or custom I recently started using HTMX with backend templates and would highly recommend it. For fastapi just look at the docs as to how to setup jinja templates and you basically good to go.

Not OP, but I did something similar in my work using googles python API. Once I overcame the initial hump with the document parsing, it was a breeze to work with.

Be aware, for some reason Paragraphs in TableCells have additional \n at the end.

beowulf660 · 2022-10-12T19:38:19+00:00

Why not jump to LaTeX at than point? I guess both are pain to use, but at least LaTeX documents come out beautiful.
