Kagi Small Web
Vlad from Kagi here, thanks for posting. The RSS feed unexpectedly broke (edit: the feed is back up! [3]) just as we published the blog post, in the true spirt of "small web" :) Should be up in 30 minutes which will enable the site to function too (it uses the same feed).<p>This has been a personal pet project of mine and I spent considerable time getting my hands dirty with the code, as the team was busy with other initiatives. When I said the "feed broke" for the launch I meant I broke it. Software is messy especially for an old school dev. I learned in the process I am not a very good coder anymore (if I ever was one?), constantly going back and fixing stuff I previously thought was solid. Check it out in the linked repo [1].<p>Most importantly - I found the site replace the need for discovery for me, and getting to know various different humans and their writing felt good! A lot of unexpected stuff surfaced and the web felt close again. I think there is a glimpse of hope in the concept and I hope you see it too. And the improvements to search quality and diversity this brings are real.<p>You can check the list of included websites here [2]. And all the recent posts already surface in Kagi results (for relevant queries).<p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/kagisearch/smallweb">https://github.com/kagisearch/smallweb</a><p>[2] <a href="https://github.com/kagisearch/smallweb/blob/main/smallyt.txt">https://github.com/kagisearch/smallweb/blob/main/smallyt.txt</a><p>[3] <a href="https://kagi.com/smallweb" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://kagi.com/smallweb</a>
