Ok, this is the perfect place to say how I use Algolia :)<p>I view HN as follows: smart people upvote interesting resources. Among those resources are educational resources. These resources are potentially of very high quality. It's a good reason to upvote something into oblivion.<p>So whenever I want to learn something, I don't go to Google first. I go to Hacker news. I type in the topic I want to learn, and hope that there are highly upvoted educational resources.<p>Two things can happen:<p>1. The upvoted resource is amazing.<p>2. The upvoted resource gets burned to the ground in the comments.<p>In the case of 2, then there is almost always a good recommendation to find in the comments. Sometimes these comments are standalone comments -- a bit risky, but better than nothing. Sometimes these comments are well supported by positive raving child comments.
