[joeyouss]

At Jina, we build crazy fun things using Jina and one such example is the meme search.
Meme search allows you to upload a meme of your choice and renders many similar memes to your meme !.

If you are interested in getting your hands on coding with Jina and creating something, this is the issue for you.

Idea:
Create a movie recommender search engine using Jina !.

What It does?
As you know, Jina is famous for creating out-of-the-box search engines and we would like you to put your creative hats on an create a search engine using Jina which takes the name of the movie as input and renders similar movies to it.

What is the tech stack?

• Jina for backend
• Streamlit for frontend (or any other front end framework you prefer)
• Dataset ? - feel free to use any !

To help you get started , we have a list of simple examples created using Jina here - https://github.com/alexcg1/simple-jina-examples

How do I get started if I am a beginner?

• Read Jina's GitHub repo
• Run our examples to get a better understanding - https://github.com/jina-ai/jina#run-quick-demo
• Go through the docs, they have everything you need!

I am stuck, I need help !!
We hear you, drop into our discord channel and post your queries there , introduce yourself and get to meet some amazing people building Jina and contributing to Jina !

Has the previous assignee completed the project or is working on it as the issue is still open.
If not, I can give it a spin.

Looping in @joeyouss !

[alexcg1]

Looking good @arghya17 ! Did you base this on the app store example by any chance? I'm always curious to trace the family tree of code 😄

[achintya-7]

I think @arghya17 has made a quite good app. Do you want to me to make a new one as well.

Thanks @alexcg1 . I actually based this on meme search

Ahh, good old meme search. That code has seen a lot of mileage from different projects!

@soumyac19 @achintya-7 @DPR-4 Anyone who wants to work on this go ahead, and post your repo in this thread. If you want to work together, great - otherwise do your own things. Totally up to you!

That's an amazing idea. I also think we all should work together. You can see all my contact info on my Github profile if you want to reach me. You can also reach me if you are facing any issues as I am done with backend and API stuff.

[alexcg1]

Can you share your repo here @achintya-7 ?

For frontend someone could easily adapt my fashion search frontend (be sure to use migrate-3 branch until I merge to main)

[achintya-7]

@alexcg1 I can but I want to use flutter for frontend. Everyone is using streamlit, so I wanted to try something else. I can share the work in progress repo if you want.

@alexcg1 This project is complete. Any new input or suggestion is welcome,
Also, do you want me to make a blog about how I build this project?

[alexcg1]

@joeyouss can you try running the code on your machine?

[alexcg1]

@DPR-4 since this is already done, maybe choose a different example? There are so many different things you can search :)

[joeyouss]

Hi @achintya-7 , thanks for the efforts. We would love to read that blog. Can you share a draft before publishing for us to review? Once written, please share a link here in the comments and we will get back in no time.

[achintya-7]

Sure. I hope making it on medium will be fine by y'all.

[alexcg1]
