Clew is a project of Benjamin Hollon. When not reinventing the wheel, Benjamin writes for his numerous blogs, crafts stories, plays and composes trombone, travels the world, commits atrocities in the terminal, runs a social media site, codes, studies Communication and Professional Writing at Texas A&M, forgets his family's birthdays, gets locked into the library (not realizing it's closed), and generally goofs around.
You can financially support his work, including the development of Clew, on Liberapay so that he can eat (when he remembers to) and pay the registration fees for all of his domain names.
The beautiful Clew logo was designed by the brilliant Joel Garcia who you can commission work from on Ko-fi. You can use the Clew logo under CC BY-SA 4.0.
Frequent feedback from the Fediverse community was taken into account, especially from members of the Polymaths.social community, which Benjamin is the founder of.
Some design inspiration was taken from Bradley Taunt's "Better Search Results" UX experiment and the Marginalia search engine. Alex Molas' 80-lines-of-code search engine was a useful reference in implementing the BM25 content ranking algorithm.
