Indexing all posts, etc is quite a lot to handle, so I wanted to start small and just focus on video search. I've started indexing videos from Peertube and other video websites. (Even YouTube but this could be removed to just focus on independent sites)

I know Peertube has their own search engine for videos. I will be reaching out to them. Compared to my site I'm planning it'll have other video sources and be easier to use.

So that leads to feedback from you guys.

What do you think about indexing videos posted on the fediverse and other independent platforms?
Are there similar services?
Am I just wasting my time?

I heard it’s not optimized well but I’ll take a look at it.

I'd be interested to know what "not optimized" means.

I heard it will send out requests as fast as possible essentially creating a DOS attack but I could be wrong. Also the UI can use some improvement.
