This would be a pretty cool addition to the duckdb HNSW search project I found on here some time ago: https://github.com/jasonjmcghee/portable-hnsw

What I think is really cool is that the search happens using http range queries across statically hosted parquet files.

I think things like this could bloom into a relatively open and distributed search ecosystem that isn’t controlled by major corporations.

Similar idea here that may be of interest: SQLite DB on static host via HTTP range + WASM.

Cool idea. I love range requests and other static-hosted client-navigable formats!
very cool, I'll look into this. Thanks for sharing.
