Agree, zod, arktype, and typia are impressively easy to use! Though, I feel that this environment created a different problem of spreading developers into multiple solutions. So for lib devs like me, we end up having to choose between coupling with a single validation lib or managing support for multiple (like tRPC does). To address that, I ended up doing a reusable lightweight lib that wraps that logic for supporting multiple: https://typeschema.com


Thanks for the lib! I'm always charmed to come across such a concrete example of the fundamental theorem of software engineering: "We can solve any problem by introducing an extra level of indirection."


I also liked the idea. One way to ask questions would be using a hashtag (#screech?). So questions that use the hash would have a better chance of being selected. It would be nice if you could choose some keywords to filter the questions in your area of expertise.


But the hashtags would contradict what I think is the best feature of this site — that you don't even have to know about it to use it.


It's so strange that you say that - I actually initially coded it with this exact idea in mind! The only reason I pivoted to regex queries was that in its initial stage, I would have no questions to serve up - but I think #screech is subtle enough to be integrated when the userbase is there!

Thanks again for the feedback, I really appreciate it!


I think the suggestion is that you first look for questions with the hashtag and then if you don't find any look for questions the way you currently are. That way a small user base can make use of the feature but for everyone else it stays the same.

You should also take a look at youasked.it. They're very similar. I think giving the user a chance to filter questions by topic is a very key feature that is missing right now from your implementation.


Or you could pick up questions for existing popular tags. #stackoverflow might be one of them.


Hey, Zack, wanna see me drink a milkshake through my nose? #screech


It's official. Version 2.0 demands Vine integration.
