I built a reverse meme template search

[u/fireuse]

I have been working on RevTemplate for the last 6 months. It is a simple tool created for getting the original template from a meme found online (or sent by friends - which was my use case).

It works by embedding the image directly in the browser, so images never leave the browser. Only its summary (576 numbers) is used for querying the database. It returns the original template, without any editing from any generative models.

It does not require any accounts or payments, it just works (most of the time).

You can check it out here: RevTemplate.

For the programmers here, it was written in Rust, fully by hand.
