This sort of stuff makes me really happy to be a Kagi subscriber. Not only do i get value out of Kagi, but this shows me that the money is being used to develop Kagi in a way i agree with. By comparison, Spotify (just picking one of my subs) feels hostile to me. I pay them, but would cancel in a heart beat if i felt i had options. I really appreciate Kagi's development matching what i feel like i'm buying. Thanks Kag…
Music streaming is such a mess. I've tried a ton of services in an attempt to find one that's decent, and have found embarrassing problems for all of them. Spotify: Really hostile, manipulative, and terrible to artists. On my end I hate how commercial the homescreen is, and the CarPlay interface is just a user-hostile to a degree that is frankly unsafe disaster. TIDAL: Pretty good in a lot of ways. They pay their art…

> The Windows apps are terrible (like flat out embarrassing), and the Linux apps are non-existent, but luckily there's a pretty great open source app called Cider that solves that. This is what blocked me from trying Apple Music as well. Maybe i'll give Cider a look, thanks!
Cider allows me to have my personal apple music on my work laptop (mac) without syncing my icloud to that laptop as well. It's a great desktop client.

Sometimes I have to use somebody else's laptop, for some reason or other I end up searching for something. I think, why are these results so crap? I notice google/bing and quickly kick in my muscle memory built up over the years to type duckduckgo.com and do another search. After this I still am confused why the results are so crap. Then I notice the duck laughing at me and think... shouldnt this be a dog? And then I…
Just to say: the search engine frog has long been boilt and it is amazing what crap people have to put up with when searching for anything. How jarring the experience of seeing TV commercials is after years of Kodi, is how the experience is of moving back to an ad-supported search engine after now months of Kagi.
getting tired of hearing about the old web. and still not seeing anything that resembles it. everything still needs js. everything still needs cloudflare bypasses if you view it on tor. this includes whatever cool hacker site you think you have because i almost never see these. i have had a site with just plain html for 10 years and it has no nonsense just content, you can do this too, it doesnt need a movement that…

Hey Viktor! #1 There are a couple of factors. - More recent content tends to be more relevant given the same search query, or at least its freshnes will contribute to it not being completely irrelevant (which is the worse thing you want in a search engine). The quality of it is already guaranteed to some extent by this being a curated list to begin with. - It was relatively easy to assemble and maintain the list beca…
If your goal is to encourage people to post more on blogs, why exclude all blogs created within the last 3 years?
I would love to have my website added to the list because I block all crawlers in my robots.txt, but it looks like I’m not allowed to submit my own website. Is there a way to go about having it added? It would be great to be part of kagi search results but don’t want to be scraped by Google, ChatGPT, or the next group, so I found it easiest to block everything.
Vlad from Kagi here, thanks for posting. The RSS feed unexpectedly broke (edit: the feed is back up! [3]) just as we published the blog post, in the true spirt of "small web" :) Should be up in 30 minutes which will enable the site to function too (it uses the same feed). This has been a personal pet project of mine and I spent considerable time getting my hands dirty with the code, as the team was busy with other in…
Edit: just saw this:
> Do not submit your own website.
I see. I'm okay with that. Maybe it will show up there one day.
