This was something i was planning to build soon for myself. Great job on the UI.One thing kinda bugged me was when you select the source from the sidepanel it collapses for each selection not allowing to select another source without collapsing. I am on OSX Yosemite/Chrome-Version 41.0.2272.104. Also is the backend Elasticsearch?
Is the backend elasticsearch?
Hi. First: thank you for the kind words. Second: I'm going to fix that, I know, it already annoyed me today and I just implemented the collapsed sources last week for better readability.
The backend is Solr in combination with a custom scraper in java and a lamp stack. The REST interface is wrapped around a php for better auth handling - and mainly because I'm a big fan of the Zend Framework and Pimcore [1] - one of the best CMS I've come across in my life (I'm not working for them).
Although I cannot give you access to the full source of the scraper/backend (at the moment), why not get in touch and/or follow on twitter/mailinglist. I'm going to send out updates what problems I was struggling on and how I solved it from time to time.
