It's just a project to learn all the things that are web. It's mainly a database for a game now with most of the information sourced from the game (including its localization files).

I'm slowly transitioning from MariaDB to Postgres - again as a learning experience. There is cool stuff and there is annoying stuff to reproduce things like case-insensitive + ignore accents (utf8_general_ci) in Postgres.

I've looked into FTS and searching for missing dictionaries to support all the locales but Chinese is one of the harder ones.
