[Haskell-cafe] ANN: Hayoo! beta 0.2

[Timo B. Hübel]

Hello,

we are pleased to announce the second beta release of Hayoo!, a Haskell API
search engine providing advanced features like suggestions, find-as-you-type,
fuzzy queries and much more.

Visit Hayoo! here: http://holumbus.fh-wedel.de/hayoo

The major change is the inclusion of all packages available on Hackage, i.e.
the documentation of the latest versions of all packages is included in the
index.

Unfortunately we had to drop the direct links to the source code, as the
documentation on Hackage is currently generated without source code. But as
soon as this changes, we will include these links again.

Additionally, we added some tweaks to the interface which make the browser
history/the back button work (at least in Firefox).

Please bear in mind that this is still a beta release and we are continuously
working on further improvements.

Any suggestions and feedback is highly welcomed.

Cheers,
Timo & Sebastian

Someone is working on hscolors for hackage? (Oh how hard that would rock.)

Well, it is currently not in a usable state: the page randomly inserts funny
characters into the text input field. (I'm using Konqueror)

It also deletes characters in some cases in the text input field using Opera.

Still very impressive though, and definitely something for Hoogle to aim at :-)

Thanks

Hi all,

thanks for all the feedback!

We have just uploaded a new Hayoo! index, which fixes several small glitches
(for example, in the function descriptions) but the most important thing is,
that it does include the docs for Gtk2hs now.

Additionally, we are working on a function to restrict the search to specific
packages and will hopefully finish it this week.

I will also soon have a look into all these interface related JavaScript
issues, but as this unfortunately does not involve Haskell coding, it may not
be on my high priority list ;)

Stay tuned!
