On November 29th, 2023 Algolia organised an internal hackathon to define what will be the Algolia demo on the new homepage of our website.
We wanted the demo to:
- show how we “understand people and show them what they need”
- be on the homepage, above the fold, and make visitors understand what we're capable of in seconds
- be self-explanatory about what we do
- show how we can help you solve your search problems
We built our demo to showcase how Algolia is suitable for a range of customers, each with different use cases. So, we build 3 tabs and showed a different use-case in each:
- First, a Netflix-style movie rental site - where speed is critical ⚡️
- Next, a developer's sandbox playground - where fun is required 😆
- Finally, an internal employee directory - where scale is necessary 🏗️
To run the demo, visit the CodeSandbox.
Alternatively, you can clone the repository and play around with the demo using your own Algolia indices!
To run the demo locally, navigate to the root of the project and run:
yarn run dev
