I think there is a real market for a software developer focused search engine. None of the issues we have matter for a search a normal person does which is what Google of course optimizes for. A search like "what are the best food carts in Portland" is fundamentally different from looking for the text of an exception that was thrown by a particular library version. Our needs are to small for giant Google to care about. But it might be a big enough market to build a nice little company.
- allemagne 10y agoI would love it if DDG could make that their niche. Unfortunately, as it stands having no option to filter results by time makes it hard to meet all my needs as a developer.
- nine_k 10y agoWould you be willing to pay for it? If so, how much monthly? I'm afraid a search engine so much specialized won't be able to live off ads.
- eof 10y agoI wouldn't pay a lot, but I would definitely pay. like a buck or two a month billed anually I would buy without hesitation if I believed it had real value. I usually search github directly now for these things, and it works decently well; either finding the code in the repo to which it belongs or better yet, an issue addressed by the developer.
- ajmurmann 10y agoAs the sibling said I would probably also pay a small amount. However, I could also see that corporate customers might by this.
