This is awesome! Great work.

The only thing that's stopping me from bookmarking the site to use for all my technical searches, is the lack of a time filter. The first search I did resulted in a blog post from 2017. Sadly in the world of software I usually have to use the "past year" filter to get useful results.

This would be amazing if it had a time filter with: - past week - past month - past 6 months - past year

Super cool to hear you were considering using the site for all your technical searches!

Time filter is a great idea. In an earlier iteration, I tried ingesting creation time in the crawler. Unfortunately, not all sites would have a timestamp included and they way they incorporate it was a mess (metadata vs url vs a random <span>), so it didn't make the release. But this is definitely something to revisit soon.
