Funniest thing is how they leave the company they sold their weather app to... to start another weather app.

- gcanyon 8mo agoThe team/person responsible for Woot sold it to Amazon, and then launched Meh the day their non-compete ended, along with a manifesto explaining how badly they thought Amazon had handled Woot.
- malfist 8mo agoGot a link to the manifesto? My kagi-fu isn't finding it
- gcanyon 8mo agoI have no clue where I read it, that was back when meh.com launched eleven-ish years ago. I didn't find it in a hot minute of searching either. I did find these, some of which talk about the circumstances obliquely: https://www.ecommercefuel.com/woot/ https://www.ecommercefuel.com/woot/ https://techcrunch.com/2014/06/27/woot-reborn-as-meh/ https://techcrunch.com/2014/06/27/woot-reborn-as-meh/ https://www.dmagazine.com/publications/d-magazine/2014/july/matt-rutledge-woot-has-a-new-deal-mediocre-corporation/?single=1 https://www.dmagazine.com/publications/d-magazine/2014/july/... https://meh.com/forum/topics/year-one-meh-stats--mediocre-stats-too https://meh.com/forum/topics/year-one-meh-stats--mediocre-st...
- pixelatedindex 8mo agoSpeaking of subscriptions, how is the Kagi one working out for you? Is it worth the switch?
- malfist 8mo agoDepends, I love it and am happy to pay for it out of privacy concerns and supporting a non-monopolist. It's got some neat features that I use all the time that google doesn't have. Is it's search results better than google? Maybe. Maybe not. I do know when I can't find something on kagi, google doesn't either.
- Lord_Zero 7mo agoI love Kagi, the results are great, the assistant is great, and I like customizing the search result UI as well to look as clean as possible. Its like having OG Google back.
