Newer employees in large organizations waste time looking up acronyms and abbreviations. There're a few PDFs with acronyms lying around on the Intranet, but they are hard to find and difficult to use.

As a result, new hires can feel lost and less engaged while adjusting to a new environment. They can ask a colleague, but many don't, because it can feel like you're bothering others.

• A search app and database of abbreviations & acronyms in Go.
• Focused on being minimal, fast, and usable.
• Uses full-text search and fuzzy matching (Jaro-Winkler and Metaphone [Phonetic]).
• Experimented with Levenshtein, Jaccard, Aho Corasick, Jaccard, Beider-Morse, Soundex.
• Implemented backend admin features for identifying duplicate entries.
• Interesting to learn Go, Docker, Makefile, Templ and tooling outside of JS meta frameworks (Air, Tailwind, Esbuild, Prettier).

• Users say a tagging feature will be useful, but is too much work for now.
• Semantic-based search would be fun to implement (e.g., searching CEO of ministry should ideally return Minister/PS)
• If this scales way bigger (or maybe just for fun) - trying Minhash and Bloom filters
• Adding Valkey makes it slower than just using SQLite, but I'd love to continue trying ways to cache expensive results/queries.
