alt Hacker NewsIt looks good, but one of the big selling points to me with Kagi is them having their own index. It seems like you guys are working on that, but right now it sounds more like a search aggregator rather than a search engine.
You also mention not using the source for commercial use or distribution, is that only relevant before it becomes AGPL?
I am also struggling to find how to activate the 2h trial, so have not been able to test it out.
Thank you for your comments!
We have an index, it's just not very big, yet. We had a major setback last month with a bug (for less than 24h, the crawler didn't respect robots.txt) and had to delete it entirely, and have been slowly rebuilding it.
You're correct the commercial use is only not allowed before the AGPL comes into play.
You should be able to click on the "top up" link (top or bottom) and see an option for a captcha ("click to prove you're a human"). If you don't, reach out via email (don't share your account number) and I'll give you a voucher for a couple of days.
