Understood -- however, if it is easy now that we've communicated -- to just keep a notepad going and then send over a big list, we'd really appreciate it.

Hi stfu, are you using a region setting? I see the journal as the first link at https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Journal%20of%20Brand%20Management We are planning on making that interface better, but if you or anyone else would like to help out

If you don't mind, I'd love to correspond a bit more over email. I still have lots of questions and something is off with regards to this setting, speed, etc. For the record, perhaps you got the wrong idea from the post (looking at your new

We did not really acquire you (at least not yet). Traction is about acquiring real customers (who stick), and if you tried it and left or are thinking of leaving then you are not a real customer yet. I would love to keep you, however! I'm s

We've made a lot of relevancy and speed improvements lately. If you have any specifics, we'd love to hear them. A good way is to try it for a week, collect all the ones that suck and send them to https://duckduckgo.com/feedback.html -- we

Absolutely agree, and I actually get that from a lot of places in addition to HN. If you want to be mainstream you have to engage with the mainstream.

Thanks, I am! I feed on feedback, and this feedback is as good as any for that purpose. Maybe vitriolic was too strong a word?

Yes, that's right. It is a Spice plugin ( http://duckduckhack.com/#plugin-types ) that uses the HNSearch API ( http://www.hnsearch.com/api ). I'm curious why you don't like it though. The !hn bang still works.

I should have made this more clear, but exactly as you say I had the Mint/Intuit deal in mind. I didn't include it because it was a software company acquirer. In other words, the case I was thinking of for the medium exit was a success case

The goodies/fathead plugins should auto-flow through. Spice/longtail are a bit more complicated but would love to get them in at some point.

Thanks -- the site looks for the scrollwheel and the down arrow, both of which will open the tutorial after which page down et al. should work as expected. Are you seeing different behavior or just wanted to hit page down initially?

The plugins get approved by DuckDuckGo, and generally we work with people to make them good or round them out ourselves. In the future there may be a way to install them in addition (for say, the ones we aren't using for the whole site). We

Haha, you'll notice hackhackgo.com redirects to the same place :). We had a large internal debate about the name and it came down to these two, with hacksear.ch in third.

Appreciate the honesty, but we don't often hear this except for isolated cases. Would you mind sending me some examples so we can broadly improve?

I am. Are you (collectively) against all dark versions or just this one, because I've been trying to tweak it incrementally for readability. If you have any specific improvement suggestions, I'm happy to try them.
