Can anyone else compare this to you.com, which is a similar concept in regards to increased privacy? I plan to sign up for Kagi tomorrow, but having used Kagi until I ran out of search on the free version, you.com seems to offer more features specifically in regards to YouChat and ability to preview certain results. It's also free for right now but wonder if they plan to go the ad-supported route in the feature, which would be a deal breaker for me over just paying a monthly plan like you do with Kagi.
- richardsocher 4y agoIf there's a lot of interest, we'd be happy to offer a monthly paid plan also. It's interesting. Only on HN do we hear users asking to pay for an otherwise free service. Majority of our users everywhere else would never pay for search. youChat will get a lot better in the coming months I think it would be wonderful! Richard from you.com here.
- machiaweliczny 4y agoI think gradient on results page are distracting. You guys should do some UI review of results page. For me it's too distracting and hard to read the results. Same with the logos at bottom they steal all attention. EDIT: Kagi beats you hard on this EDIT2: More criticism. I feel like I am reading 10 lines at once of your menu instead of results. Move it to right/top, add padding, border or something like this. Also font is like from those cheap websites that spam.
- richardsocher 4y agoThanks. We'll look into both of these (plans and design).
- autotune 4y agoMaybe consider making an "ad-supported, free" model, and a "premium" plan without ads? As long as advertising doesn't end up in the premium plan at any point it's the best of both worlds.
