Show HN: Search 10k paintings by describing them in plain English (vecstore.app)

Hello, the demo searches 10,000 paintings using semantic search, so you can type things like "dark forest with fog" or "people dancing at a party" and it actually finds relevant results even though none of those words appear in the metadata

The underlying product is Vecstore, a search api for text and images. the idea is you skip the whole embedding pipeline + vector database setup and just call an api. You send in your data, you search it. that's it

It also does reverse image search, face search, OCR (finding images by text inside them), and nsfw detection. all from the same api

Built with Rust

Requires login
No login required, the live demo is directly displayed in hero section and is fully interactive with real data
I thought it was an image too! In spite it's obvious, you may want to add a button that says "Try the live demo now!" and goes to an anchor in the demo.

The magic in this link does not work: https://vecstore.app/#:~:text=LIVE%20DEMO,with%20natural%20l...

thanks for the suggestion
