Kagi
- Gigachad 2mo agoKagi can’t solve the fact that the internet itself has gone to shit. The independent forums are largely gone, the mainstream social media’s have all locked down and been spammed with AI slop.
- Seattle3503 2mo agoA lot of the time I use Kagi to find the Reddit post or Wikipedia page I need. There isn't much else.
- matkoniecz 2mo agoThey only repackage what Google et all returns. Or have they started own indexing?
- inigyou 2mo agoThey use a mixture of sources. Some HNers like to get very angry because one of the sources is Yandex, which is Russian.
- Lammy 2mo agoHere's a Kagi search for the first situation mentioned in the article; you decide: https://kagi.com/search?q=sunset&r=us&sh=CuGH82dPbwxj9_b2i8YIDA https://kagi.com/search?q=sunset&r=us&sh=CuGH82dPbwxj9_b2i8Y...
- neysofu 2mo agoKagi is not immune to this (it's the substrate itself that's losing quality, not just search) but it's a decent antidote.
- sgt 2mo agoSo.. how do we design a Kagi, or a parallel Internet, that is immune to this? There's clearly a market.
- FeteCommuniste 2mo agoThe only way to be immune is make ads and tracking impossible or at least not profitable enough for bigcorps to care about putting them there. So, maybe a web without Javascript, images, or videos, lol. Something truly primitive like the Gemini protocol.
- sgt 2mo agoBut it won't take off (even within our niche communities) without some scriptability and images and videos. I'll give this some thought. Maybe there is a way.
