FRC code search: a great project for someone to start

I personally don't have the time for this -- but I think it would be awesome if someone else did it.

It would be really cool if someone could create a simple search engine for FRC code. Think like 'grepcode', but obviously with less functionality -- really, you only need basic full-text search this to be interesting.

There are a variety of pieces/challenges I can think of at the moment:
  • Locating team code (FIRSTwiki has a good list to start out with, and it's already in JSON format)
  • Ingesting the code and storing it in a database (maybe even as simple as filtering by filetype and just using full-text search)
  • Finding an appropriate database provider (firebase like TBA uses? giant json dump in github pages? AWS/heroku/azure/etc free tier?)
  • Provide a nice search page that allows you to do basic things -- filter by year, language, team

Anyone up for the challenge?
