I keep breaking the site! Definitely need some automated tests lol. Also having constant errors from Elasticsearch running out of memory. Might switch to a different search provider.

Still having memory errors with Elasticsearch server. Might just abandon the Heroku add-ons and use AWS. What a headache.

I'd prefer not abandoning Elasticsearch since I can run it locally, but if these intermittent errors can't be resolved it might be best to use something like Algolia.

Yep. Done deal. Switching to AWS Elasticsearch, and if that doesn't fix these errors, off to Algolia we go.

I think searches were breaking due to Searchkick errors caused by memory issues. I think cleaning old indices solved it. Running that nightly now. We'll see if the error crops up again...

Friday! Time to tidy up the remark details/similar remarks page. Really rough layout. Also seeing some weirdness with similar remarks. Might need to tweak how those searches run.

Was having issues queueing up Elasticsearch index jobs...realized I hadn't provisioned Redis for the Heroku app 🤦‍♂️

Apparently I broke search a few days ago. Just fixed. Time to add some automated tests 😬

Got a basic similar search working with Elasticsearch. Pretty nifty.

Stable search for the past few days, as far as I can tell. Hmm.

I do need to resolve some issues with some image-only remarks not having any similar remark results. Sounds like a nice weekend project.

Back to drawin' blocks on Agrinomicon. The switch to Phoenix LiveView is complete!

Site note: I need to start drawing in other parts of the country. Tired of seeing almonds 😒
