#2Vlad 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 initiatives. When I said the "feed broke" for the launch I meant I broke it. Software is messy especially for an old school dev. I learned in the process I am not a very good coder anymore (if I ever was one?), constantly going back and fixing stuff I previously thought was solid. Check it out in the linked repo [1].
Most importantly - I found the site replace the need for discovery for me, and getting to know various different humans and their writing felt good! A lot of unexpected stuff surfaced and the web felt close again. I think there is a glimpse of hope in the concept and I hope you see it too. And the improvements to search quality and diversity this brings are real.
You can check the list of included websites here [2]. And all the recent posts already surface in Kagi results (for relevant queries).

No other search engine would do this and it's awesome! Always feel like my subscription is well worth it. Thanks Vlad!
Re: Kagi Small Web
#4This is cool. The web has become too centralized.

#5Kagi is worth every penny. Been using it for 6 months as my primary search engine. I think I have used the Google !g 10 or so times in that period maybe?

#6Kagi is the ten bucks per month that just keep giving.

#7And yet in the article they reference their Discord channel and Twitter sigh
Re: Kagi Small Web
#8This is quite interesting. I feel you should include content from blogs that publish less often than once a week - some of the best blogs post once in a blue moon and are still quite interesting.

I'm a paying customer and this is yet another nice addition. It's something only you can do. Please keep doing this kind of stuff!
Re: Kagi Small Web
#10This is really good. With more and more of the large web filled with SEO crap and gargantuan articles written because that's what google wants, it is great to read from the people who actually write the interesting things the AIs train on.
