Interesting. I will definitely add it to my list of services to experiment with.

I like the account/payment system, where you top up a random account number for a period. Instead of having to go with the whole process of creating and verifying an account with your data and then managing yet another recurring subscription.

Congrats on the release, wish you the best.

No, interacting with Russian people does not mean supporting genocide. Please raise the quality of your comments here :)

[flagged]

Your stance seems to be that interacting with any Russian means supporting genocide, regardless of if they support Putin. Which is so absurd as to be likely ragebait. So yes, it’s a quality issue :)

And if you’re discriminating against all Russians based on their government, even though not all Russians support Putin, then that is unfortunately just racism.

I really like the idea and that it's eu-made a love it. A fee things I see with kagi which are useful and improvements: - Hire a UI/UX person NOW! My parents and gf like using google and kagi because are easy to use. - add the widgets like the football or the show the local store with the phone number asap. My gf is thinking about moving away from kagi because of this. - the quick ai response is extremely useful. - I…

Thank you for your suggestions and support! - Ouch. We get a lot of love for our UI/UX, which I guess just goes to show taste is personal. If you have any particular points of friction, we'd love to hear about them. - Only Serper allows for this, so we're very hesitant. If other providers allowed it, we could definitely consider it. - We won't have Generative AI, sorry. - Could you clarify? - Check out the interview…

- the landing page looks good to me, but not to my mother for example. A slight difference in color, placing or anything is like a huge problem for her. - im sorry to hear thag. However this is being a deal breaker for my parents and gf :/ they use it A LOT! - many websites have terrible content placing and search features. But im forced to use them. I use google to get to that content.

It would be true if Russia was democracy. It is not.

It's not a democracy because they neglect their shareholder duties. In other words, they are responsible for not making it a democracy.

This is a naive point of view. I can't blame you though, you probably live in a better part of the world.

Seeing the point on UI/UX got me curious as well and from a brief look I don't quite see where it is coming from, but maybe they will expand on it. Regarding their point about relatives loving Google/Kagi for usability: If you don't already do that, I believe it can be pretty eye-opening to just place some "tech-illiterate" person in front of your product and check if/where they struggle. There were lots of situation…

Thanks! Your point is quite valid and we do that. Unfortunately, the biggest problem with most "tech-illiterate" people we have is that they don't understand why they should care about privacy or what's "wrong" with AI tools in the first place.

I got the point. But in this case, you have a fairly low pricing (5€), therefore i guess either you want a side project, a small business in a familiar kind or to go worldwide adoption. The last case, you have to take "tech illiterate" people really seriously.

Okay, so in order to do a test search, I have to:

1) type in a query and hit enter because there's no search button.

2) click signup, even though I want to evaluate it before creating an account.

3) apparently now I'm signed up without having to enter any details - what's the point? Just create a new session as soon as I initiate the search.

4) so now I need to return to the homepage to trigger another search.

5) search again, enter again. Now I'm greeted by a captcha.

6) after solving the captcha, I now have to enter my search query a third time because it wasn't saved

7) search results!

Guys.

States consist of people. Russians are shareholders of Russia.

It would be true if Russia was democracy. It is not.

It is silly to grant agency and moral responsibility exclusively to people living within democracies.

The Putin regime made an informal deal with the population "You stay out of politics and we're gonna stay out of your life". The people outsource political power to the regime.

This passive majority represents the bulk of the population, but not the whole of the population. There are two smaller groups. Ultra-patriots who criticize Putin for not doing more war, more suffering etc. And those who criticize the Putin for the war, although this group is not very vocal, but here I do agree with you that's it's difficult to publicly protest in an authoritarian regime.

Have you considered adding Google’s SERP to your indexes (via some third-party provider)? Google’s index is by far the largest, and my impression is that a search engine is hardly useful unless it includes Google’s results.

Thanks! Serper is UK-based and does that. We provide them as an option, but not by default.
