Happy you like it! Thank you for your wise advice! I will have to choose carefully what to do and what not to do.

Thank you! I'll be thinking on that expand idea. Anyone else feeling that, please comment here. Yes I have seen a few mentions about searx, will look into that!

Thank you for your detailed feedback! It should look pretty clean, unless you have a browser that always shows scrollbars. What browser and operating system are you using? I think Windows and IE might show scrollbars more. Should look go

Thank you Tyler! You've done some great work with motionarray! I love bootstrapped companies! Would definitely be open to collaborators, will need to figure that out later. Today need to code a bunch of features :)

Thank you! So all the time only Google and Twitter? The design thinking I'm going right now is less options to figure out and click, and just make it easy to jump to any source, and do the best possible to show ranked and relevant sou

Awesome :) Glad you like it and get it! Yes that is the idea, people are already searching multiple sources. I was just thinking of how to do that better with a good simple UX. Let me know if there are specific other sources you would lik

Wahoo, thank you for making Swurl your default search. Ya on an ultrawide, it is beautiful to see! If you give me some more examples, I will add them. I am seeing a lot for hacker news. But how do you think it should be triggered? Show a

I know, Kagi did a great job with getting people to pay for their value. I saw that and was impressed! I mean I would rather people pay and have no ads. I really don't like ads.

lol, yep that is what I'm paying for your queries right now :) Would love to lower that cost. I'm just happy people are liking it right now. I could do subscription or ads in the future or try to find a free search source. Wha

Thank you! Hrmmm, I don't have Ubuntu. What version of FF are you using? Did everything not work, or certain parts? I know Firefox seems to block embeds.

Hrmm, the problem is with infinite scroll. Opening in new tab is the best UX I've tested that works best. Anything suggestions with that problem if I did add that option?

Thank you, glad you like the name, Swurl. I would totally be cool with swapping out other search engines, but You.com and DDG don't give any a search API, so can't do that. If you know any good other search engines that I can int

Thank you, glad it looks good for you. Yes using Google search API. Yes paying out of my own pocket right now. If you know anyone at Google that could lower the price that would be great :) Ya, not break even right now...

haha, I totally agree. I think Google has a conflict of interest a bit there for the ranking. But if I could do that I would. At least on Swurl there is no ads.

I agree, isn't for everyone. But I think the kids these days like as much images as possible. Seems how things are trending... I could add an option for more test focused if more people are wanting this. Because add to this thread

Twitter is just an embed. Is it working for you now? Maybe your browser is blocking the embed? What browser are you using?

That is a good search. Please try refreshing, it should work. Sometimes Insta errors. Or doesn't work due to Firefox blocking embeds. Let me know if it works now for you.

Yes, sorry, that is a byproduct with this design, can't be fixed because of limitations on mobile browsers. What phone are you using? On most newer phones there is enough vertical height...

Thank you for letting me know. Where else would it be better for you? Higher, center, left side? Odd I thought that is where everyone puts it...
