The Kagi stats graphs (showing membership growth) since May 20th when Google announced their replacment of Google Search speaks for itself: https://kagi.com/stats https://kagi.com/stats
Slow gradual growth before, large increase in the daily growth rate since.
It'll be interesting keeping an eye on how that growth rate goes over time. :)
- vitaflo 5mo agoGaining 700 users "speaks for itself"? All this stats page shows me is how few people actually use Kagi. You'd think it was millions of users based on the way people astroturf it here.
- piva00 5mo agoAstroturf? I believe most of the reports here to be genuine. I'm just a paying user and when web search is debated on HN I share Kagi as a very happy customer. Astroturfing implies that Kagi is paying for people like me to praise them, it's just a good product (for my personal use at least), and I'm glad to recommend it while it stays good.
- oakesm9 5mo agoWhy does it need millions of users to be useful to the individuals which use it? It's not a social media site, so I don't care how many other users they have as long as it's a sustainable business for them to keep providing a service to me.
- TylerE 5mo agoWell, for one thing at these user numbers using it is close to de-anonymizing yourself.
- jeorb 5mo agoI hope it stays small compared to the tech giants. I want Kagi to have enough customers to run a business and earn a profit but not so many that they need to make the product worse to continue growing.
- vitally3643 5mo agoEver consider that people praise Kagi so highly because it's actually good? Then again maybe you're the only correct person on the entire internet and everyone else is shills and crazy people. That definitely sounds more likely.
- justinclift 5mo agoDoesn't "astroturf" mean false statements rather than people just being enthusiastic about something?
- lostmsu 5mo agoA good graph would start at 0
- freediver 5mo agoWe started saving this data late :)
- carlosjobim 5mo agoThat chart is programmed to always shows the same shape, no matter if the number of subscribers increased by 10 or by 10 000.
- MeetingsBrowser 5mo agoI noticed if you change to the “all time” view it shows a steady linear growth, with no big spikes or valleys.
- justinclift 5mo agoDamn, that sounds deceptively done then. :(
- Groxx 5mo agoGrowth is nearly linear for the past 3 years.
