memegraph - search and explore memes

This is a submission for the Netlify Dynamic Site Challenge: Visual Feast.

What I Built

Memegraph is a search engine and recommendation engine for memes using OpenAI CLIP.

Search memes via keywords, explore memes with the same template, and discover memes that are visually similar.

Demo

Please check it out here - memegraph.netlify.app!

Source available here - github.com/seanvelasco/memegraph!

Don't know the name of a meme? Just describe the meme!

Guy Thinking In Bed meme

Discover memes about your favorite topics

The Office memes

Look up that obscure meme you saw

Memes about Spongebob and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)

Discover memes that are visually similar

New way to browse memes

Memegraph home

Platform Primitives

This uses Netlify Image CDN to deliver and transform memes efficiently to enhance user experience.

Because memes stay the same throughout its lifetime, the cache policy is to cache the memes by default, for the longest amount of time possible. The challenge is, memes are retrieved at random on the homepage, so some memes are cached and some are not.

All the memes are stored in another Blob storage provider, however I plan to migrate them to Netlify Blobs (just need to figure out how to upload in bulk or in batches efficiently).
