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
