Comment on Show HN: My first MVP - A Tea Search Engine

Comments

This looks beautiful. What stack are you using? I'm thinking of building a similar site for another category of products and am wondering whether to roll my own in Rails or just go with Wordpress. Would love to hear any suggestions based on your experience.

I'm using JQuery, Rails w/Passenger, and super-fast searching with Sphinx. Rails is awesome. This combo makes coding awesome and efficient... I wouldn't even bother with Wordpress.

I'm reasonably comfortable with Rails. Never tried Sphinx or any other search library before, so it's a good time to give it a go.

Thanks!
