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…

I think it all depends on what kind of customer they want to attract. > Hire a UI/UX person NOW I agree, the current site is too busy. > add the widgets like the football or the show the local store with the phone number asap Sounds like clutter to me > the quick ai response is extremely useful. Depends, I use Kagi because it doesn't have that (or it does, but allowed me to hide it, I don't remember anymore) > make i…

Kagi does have Quick AI response. It's hidden behind a button and will only automatically answer if the search inputs ends with a question mark (?).

Could you consider Delayed Open Source Publication (DOSP) [1]? With that, you make the source code open-source after a specific period of time (such as 5 years). This way, your customers still get the source code and can use it freely, but you don't have to worry about competition. By the time anyone could use it to compete with you, they would be using an ancient version of your software. The BUSL (Business Source L…

That is an option, for sure, but it feels less honest to our customers to give them the code "so much later". With the PolyForm Shield, they can just use the _current_ version however they want for themselves/family, as long as they're not competing with us commercially. Or am I missing something else, here?

Not really. That means you give your customers the code to use under your current restrictions, and after a specific period, they can use it under the open-source license of your choice as well.

We're working towards accepting cash by mail in a month or two, and regarding cryptocurrencies, we've been trying to reach out to proxysto.re unsuccessfully for that. If you know of a similar option, we'd love to hear about it!

Taler could be a good match: it's a digital coin that has been in development for a long time and is currently starting to see real use. It guarantees the anonymity of the buyer but not the merchant (to avoid tax evasion and money laundering). It's not a cryptocurrency (no blockchain, no intrinsic value with floating rate), it's really a digital form of whatever currency your exchange uses. Now the only working excha…

I Would love to see Taler also be adopted.

Solid EU-first positioning — the "trust local infrastructure" angle is increasingly important here. Curious about the privacy model: Kagi famously refuses to log queries. What's your approach to search history retention?

No logging or tracking as well.

I see. We'll look into considering doing both, then. PolyForm Shield for the current code, with BUSL to transition into AGPLv3 after 2 or 3 years. Do you think that would work well?

Nice project! It lacks two things that are very useful : website blocking, and !hashbangs like DDG.

I'm not sure if this is trolling, but we offer both. Even custom bangs, and you can also use Kagi's Bangs: https://github.com/kagisearch/bangs

My number one request: let me block specific sites from my search results.

`-site:domain.tld` works for "non-permanent blocking", but in your settings you can add domains or TLDs to block from the search results.

OK this is a bit ridiculous. The FAQ does not specify how to use the API beyond listing a json parameter. If you send a curl command with that parameter the first search just returns "Logged In", and run another search and then you're temporarily IP banned site wide. Having hair trigger sensitive security around API while not telling the user what the request should look like to not trigger that is just silly.

OK bit more trial and error later I worked out a curl command that doesn't trip this. https://pastebin.com/BNRBfYFf Still not entirely sure what about the original request trigger it. Think it was something around the Sec-Fetch-* headers that copying a request from browser via copy cURL included

Sorry! You can use the incognito token (from the incognito URL) in order to not have to send the cookie over. If you were trying too aggressively to search, you could've been rate-limited for a few minutes.
