Show HN: Crowd Sourced Knowledge Sharing Platform
I’m the creator of Jouho, a content exploration platform. The “Taste engine” used by Pinterest was a major inspiration behind building this platform. Jouho can be viewed as a Pinterest for links that contains good content.
Search engines today are extremely good at serving links that: - Have the right keywords - Have good SEO - Have a high number of quality backlinks
Jouho takes a different approach to search. The links shown are knowledge pieces that contain good insights around a topic that a user searches for. Similar to how Pinterest shows related topics, Jouho harnesses the power of a knowledge graph to show related topics allowing us to explore search queries in different contexts.
Jouho relies on users creating collections and bookmarking links into them to seed its search index. Currently, there are over thousand links indexed across topics like Data Visualization, Design UI/UX and Frontend Development(react, redux, vue). As more links are saved by users the graph and the search index will be remodelled periodically to incorporate the new topics and links. The search relies on a mix of Natural Language Processing algorithms to identify relevant content for a query. The knowledge graph will get smarter as more links are saved and more relations between topics will be identified. Thanks for trying it out. Website: https://www.jouho.in
