This is very cool! Your readme is intersting and well written - I didn't know I could be so interested in the internals of a full text search engine :)

What was the motivation to kick this project off? Learning or are you using it somehow?



I’m learning the internals of FTS engines while building a vector database from scratch. Needed a solid FTS index, so I built one myself :)

It ended up being a clean, reusable component, so I decided to carve it out into a standalone project

The README is mostly notes from my Notion pages, glad you found it interesting!


What are you building a vector database from scratch for?


Mostly wanted a refresher on GPU accelerated indexes and Vector DB internals. And maybe along the way, build an easy on-ramp for folks who want to understand how these work under the hood
