This news makes me so happy!

With the trend that the tech industry seems to be taking towards enshitification (I might be quite cynical...) Kagi proves that is possible to make profitable business differently!

Congrats!!

As a Kagi customer, I hope their choice to allocate nearly a third of their investor-raised funds to produce and freely distribute 20,000 t-shirts doesn’t lead to their demise.

Uh… what? Did I miss something important? That sounds like a profoundly terrible move.

hehe! I see it as great marketing, possibly decreasing churn (although Kagi subscribers seem among the most enthusiastic I've seen around!) and just generally continuing with the tred of goodwill towards users (the opposite of the usual treatment of users from big tech)
