On the other hand, one might think about a Hayoo which indexes the local
Cabal sandbox. Unfortunately, this is not our top priority.

On my laptop, I have 16 GB RAM. 5 GB is not nothing, but it really isn't that much -- if it requires only 5 GB, it's definitely feasible to run a local Hayoo (well, memory-wise at least).

Hayoo requires about 5GB of RAM for indexing complete Hackage at the
moment. I don't think is feasible to run a local Hayoo to index Hackage.
On the other hand, one might think about a Hayoo which indexes the local
Cabal sandbox. Unfortunately, this is not our top priority.

The new Hayoo is based on the Hunt-Framework, which is not ready to be
released at the moment. We're going to make a separate announcement for
Hunt then. in the meantime, you can have a look at the GitHub repository
[0].

I could publish the serialized index of Hayoo, if you want to set up a
local Hayoo despite the memory usage.
