I need a break from some projects I’m working on using Boss and Appengine, and had a search engine idea. I think you’ve done half the work already for another random idea I had for a search engine. Going to enjoy playing with this i think, thanks!

Hey sam — very cool “4 hour” project! I wish I had your mad skills

Carry on the good job !
