Happy Labor Day! I labored over a Taylor Swift Acronym Lookup app, and I'd love some feedback (taylorswiftacronyms.web.app)

I had always seen requests for it on various Swift posts. Someone will post a long lyric acronym, and someone else who isn't in the know will be frustrated and lament a site like this not existing.

It's pretty basic right now, but you can search any acronym thats between 4 and 50 letters long, and it will tell you the song and album of any match.

Behind the scenes, there are 30,000 files, split by the first 4 letters of the acronym, so when you do a search you'll pull the file that matches the first 4. Eventually I'd like to make it so you can get more letters from a short acronym, but I had to start somewhere.

So... Wdyt? I'd love some feedback

As a fellow old man, at least relative to this fanbase, I fully understand, and this is exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping to get. Thanks!

As a devops engineer, sometimes the most efficient server is the one that doesn't exist; next best is the one that someone else pays for. If heroku free tier existed, I'd consider using that to handle queries server side and aggressively cache them in a CDN.
