who searches techno music for lyrics?

I'm looking for a sample that goes bleep-brrr-whoosh


it's a bit tongue in cheek :-) and I agree, searching for ... "sounds" in descriptive/onomatopoeia-like language would be great!

I feel it would be more interesting to show statistics about the words used rather than search.

If you dig a tiny bit in the devtools, you’ll see the sqlite file that’s loaded in the frontend with all of the data :)

A word cloud or some stats is a great idea!


the most unhinged possible channel on which to deploy this proof of concept. love it!

wow, all in-browser, and only 8 mb? or did I misread the progress screen?

correct! it's a sqlite database which ends up being automatically gzip'd by the github cdn aka fastly - this ends up being ~4mb over the wire

obviously this solution doesn't scale (versus something like https://github.com/phiresky/sql.js-httpvfs ) but sometimes it's fun to "just" send the sqlite database to the frontend and be done :-)


0 results for "ketamin" I think this is broken

searched for "house music", found house music! :D

why would I search lyrics for a techno music ?

You are awaiting precise instructions for when exactly you should put your hands in the air?

when I listen to Techno, I'm already way above the air :D
