Thanks Jeff, better documentation and explanation materials are something we need to put together for the current project we're working on also. It's a consumer app but the same issue applies - we get a lot of support tickets comi

Congrats on the launch! In a previous life I worked on a media SaaS startup. We never solved onboarding. The customers ranged from small independent and solo publishers through to global media companies. It didn't matter the size of th

Another long-term T1 here. This is one of the best posts I've read describing how hard it is. The only thing I'd add after a couple of decades... the psychological side gets harder and harder as fatigue sets in, and you have to ke

100% agree. The more people working on this and building different features and trying different approaches the better. The more new search engines, the more everyone innovates, the better for the whole world. It is deeply unhealthy to have

That's a meaningful difference. I'd have only have expected a couple of percentage points. Are there any downsides you hear in user feedback from doing them within an app? Another commenter mentioned privacy concerns. What sort of

Congrats on the launch. I've used Google Forms and Typeform before on different projects, both of which are simple to set up. But we've only ever put questionnaires on an external link. Do you have any data on whether in-app surve

Based on the public record, I don't think the original commenter's statement was unreasonable or mistaken. And they have provided extensive additional documentation on a separate comment supporting the assertion. Based on Pichai b

This could also be a perverse incentive reflected algorithmically (whether on purpose or not). Google has better data and makes more money when users are identified. So they have a vested interest in making users think that they will get wo

Thank you for putting that together. I knew there was some resistance to doing a browser internally, but it was a brilliant insight that long term Google would need control of distribution for its search results as it became more and more a

I love the HN view too - it is compact, efficient and information dense. I think it works well for search results. And I love HN so it seemed like a neat homage :) Thank you for trying it out and the great feedback too. There hasn't be

Thank you! And ugh! I thought we fixed that bug. On it :) One of the secrets with Google is search is that the top searches aren't searches at all. Number one search on google? "facebook" - it's people navigating. So the

Thanks for trying it out. I don't want to take to discussion too off topic, but if I can try to answer in general terms, I think that it is not just that the search results on Google have been getting worse, the user experience has bee

I may not be following you, but are you saying that when you change search engine in your App, it also changes the default search for iOS and Safari system-wide? Or you are just talking about within your iCabMobile App itself, like anyone c

I've been trying not to be off-topic or self-promotional on this thread because it has so much other great discussion, and it needs a separate thread, but I wanted to answer your question quickly. Thanks sincerely for the feedback and

Depending on the platform, you might need to right-click on the Firefox browser address bar and choose the "Add search engine" option from the dropdown (where a website has it). Do you see an option to add a new search engine when

That's simply not true. Even as a technical user who knows what you're doing, you get a hard-coded choice of exactly five - Google, Bing, Yahoo, DDG or Ecosia. You can't add new ones at all. If you wanted to add a new search

Adding a shortcut to a website to the home screen is a nice convenience. Unfortunately, it doesn't add it as a search engine to your iPhone search, or to Safari. Even with a PWA (progressive web app), the App is just a wrapper on Safar

That's weird. The endpoints are on Amazon Cloudfront, so possibly uni VPN didn't like the CDN it is on.

Without wanting to go off topic here, may I ask what sort of error did you get? All looks fine from here, although it is an alpha. If you were happy to reach out I can try to help figure it out with you.
