Find the name that's really yours - searchable across every name in Polish PESEL registry - instantly!
A site dedicated for trans people who are ditching their deadnames. It gathers names from Polish PESEL registry to get a list of names that are 'officially used' in Polish administrative system and enriches them with info about the name's origin and meaning wherever possible. You can browse the names and filter/sort them with sub-second speed on most queries. No db - static site serving jsons with datasets.
Tech Stack
What I Learned
A "proper" backend isn't always necessary - with the right static indexing, a no-DB site is a genuinely useful alternative that reduces complexity for smaller datasets.
How to deploy automatically via Github Actions
How to work with python to cleanse, wrangle and join difficult data - searching for origins and meanings was a tough challenge.
The repo as well as the site is in Polish because of the nature of the site. Feel free to contact me if you need other languages to be implemented!
