I built a Python web app to search local files using semantic meaning, not just filenames 🚀

Tired of opening dozens of files or struggling to remember exact filenames? I built YF Meaning Finder—a web application powered by Python, Flet, and the Gemini API that lets you search your local documents using natural language and semantic understanding.

Instead of exact string matching, you can search for concepts (like "It had app ideas" or "Q3 budget allocations"), and it instantly scans your folders to find and open the right file based on its actual meaning!

Check out the code and architecture on GitHub: YF Meaning Finder on Streamlit
