- janalsncm 3y agoSpot on. However I do wonder if the cost of indexing the internet would be prohibitively expensive for a company looking to bootstrap without ad money.
- tqi 3y ago> We gather new content, published within the last week, from a handpicked list of blogs imo this only only works because it is a niche product? If Google went away, and Kagi became the #1 search engine overnight, I think this approach would immediately become a source of criticism for being too restrictive, gatekeeping newcomers or biased towards a narrow perspective (as Google itself already is).
- Terretta 3y agoTo be clear, overall Kagi is not limiting itself to the small web. That's a passion project of the founder who coded it himself to the consternation of his team.
- onlyrealcuzzo 3y agoStrange to define something as better with ~0% market share and not meaningfully growing, but sure.
- Terretta 3y agoStrange to define market share as a gating criteria for better. So not sure I trust definition of "meaningfully" either. Perhaps a better word would be "sustainably".
