Typesense is so good (and affordable!). I'm so thankful y'all are providing an alternative to Algolia.

It feels similar to Render vs Vercel where clearly players like Vercel & Algolia make the big bucks from enterprise clients and thus make their services less accessible to small companies like mine.

Quick question with regards to vector search, do y'all intend on exposing some basic embedding service to your platform? I think it'd be pretty powerful to add a basic word2vec embedding model so that users who want to play around with vector search can simply just send some text and typesense would do the rest (convert text to embedding, index embedding, etc).

Yes, we plan to do that, but we will start off with first supporting raw vector data type and search on that.
