I'll pay for a search engine when they are transparent about their algorithm.

#242A lot of comments mention privacy. Could someone explain who can see my searches at Kagi? My experience working at startups is that companies are very lax with customer PII. With a product like this, I have to assume every engineer at Kagi can see every search I make.
As far as I can tell, the "privacy" here is based entirely on trust and on the promise that they don't log searches and other PII on the account that their business model doesn't need that information. Creating an account linked to payment details and your searches is otherwise a red flag.

#243I like the statement they made on their jobs page: Core Front-end Team Passion for creating delightful and swift user interfaces. Proficiency in HTML, CSS, and _an understanding that JavaScript can be used sparingly to enhance, not create, product experiences._ Ability to prototype rapidly. Fun fact: At Kagi, we prioritize speed, to the point where *all functionalities of Kagi Search (except Stripe checkout and Maps)…
In my opinion, in not using JavaScript they are missing out on a really nice DX. This is the kind of app that could be highly optimized _despite_ using React or something similar. Knee-capping your hiring to Make A Point (tm) is silly.
Server side rendering in no way guarantees a bad DX. Such a statement is narrow-minded.

#244Happy customer here. Kagi is by far the best search engine there is. When I first started using Kagi a year ago or so, I compared results with Google every now and then. Now? Never. 10 bucks a month for a tool that I use multiple times every single day is more than reasonable. The results hit home virtually every time. There are variety of features to customize your searches but truthfully, I never found the need for…
yup

Yeah you sound like someone who should not be using Windows in any way shape or form. The telemetry and lack of control? Try Linux out.
The only lockin I have remaining to windows is video games really
The Steam Deck is Linux and runs a large majority of games. You can do it on your laptop with Proton. It's amazing. Even weird stuff like Mass Effect Remastered (which requires EA Play client) works on Linux now.

Oh man I blocked all these when I first started using it and haven't even thought of it since. Now I realise how much Pinterest and W3Schools not showing up has improved my life!
I've generally really loved w3schools for their tutorials -- I've been using them to teach my kids web programming and whatnot recently and generally been happy with them. Is there something I'm missing about it? Maybe it's because we have really good ad-blockers running, but their content seems fine and (generally?) not terribly "lifted" from other sites (I.E., just SEO spam). Is there a replacement for them that fi…
I think people have been using MDN.
This has some of the context https://web.archive.org/web/20110412103745/http://w3fools.co...
But looks like w3schools has cleaned up their act in the past decade.

#250Their previous pricing really puzzled me. If you're charging that much, the only people that benefit enough to pay have big search needs, but Kagi said "we don't want your business". Who wants to monitor how many searches they've made so they don't run out before the end of the month. Or what if your kid sits down at your computer and does 25 searches for their homework.
