    This is really useful because you might see a screenshot of a game and go 'I wonder if they got those assets from OGA' and while the project should include a link or somesuch... Well, this will help keep people honest.

    > What does the final search look like

    God bless you. I wish every tutorial/demo/example would start with a screenshot of the final product.

    There are so many times when a product that's UI/UX heavy will be shared yet they want you to compile the app yourself to see what it might even look like. No thanks! As a side note, I wonder what kind of mental disconnect or phenomenon is going on such that one would make such a seemingly bizarre choice like that.

    As for your project, I love it! I am a huge fan of pixelart and it's going in my little pixel book :)

    I submitted this post but I am not the author. Author is https://github.com/emnh

    The original submission title was "How I built..." which HN changed to "I built...", and then (mods?) changed to "Show HN: I built..."

    Still, I love the demo and the write-up. I am completely biased, because it uses Pinecone.

      That's cool. I am the author :) . Actually I submitted a direct link to the search a month ago, but didn't get any upvotes. So I'm happy that I got some now with the write-up :)

        If you posted "I built a pixel art reverse image search for OpenGameArt" over in https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/ they'd love it.

        Ok, since you're here, we'll leave the "Show HN" bit up. Looks like we made a mistake that turned out ok by accident :)

        It was a comment. In a subthread. On a submission showing a "managed vector storage for ML applications". Each of these points reduces visibility.

          Yes true, but also a submission, see https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=hvidevold :)

            As far as I can see, your three most recent submissions do not contain it:

            > WebGL Fluid Dynamics: Reintegration Tracking (michaelmoroz.github.io) 1 point by hvidevold 80 days ago | past

            > Show HN: Categorizing OpenGameArt (using Grid t-SNE) (github.com/emnh) 1 point by hvidevold 7 months ago | past

            > Show HN: Browse Random OpenGameArt (lart.no) 2 points by hvidevold 8 months ago | past

            I skimmed the following 7 submissions, nope, not there.

              Ahh ok it's at number one for me "Show HN: Reverse Image Search for OpenGameArt using pinecone.io" 36 days ago. Anyway, it's not important.
