Marginalia: 3 Years
> I think a larger concern is how you'll address the Bus Factor going forward
I can't speak to how much energy it is to go from code to serving requests, but FWIW the code is AGPLv3 and seems to be updated regularly https://github.com/MarginaliaSearch/MarginaliaSearch/blob/v2...

The Internet Is Full of AI Dogshit
Regarding the last sentence: The problem is that capitalism knows no limits. Sure, it would be nice to pay a monthly subscription for genuinely good and desirable content/search results...
But what if the CEO of the service provider needs another $5m bonus? What if the stock needs to go up so that the shareholder gamblers can get more dividend paid? What if all of a sudden the service gets bought out?
The truth is that what you are seeking is more likely to come from someone who is just passionate about it with not that much motivation based on profit. That doesn't mean that this entity or person can't be financially supported but it gets problematic when profit is the _main_ incentive.
For a good example of an interesting search engine built by a single guy, see Marginalia: https://search.marginalia.nu/

The Web Is Fantastic
There's a decent amount of people still keeping the fire burning for the "old web." It takes a little digging, but it's out there.
Some links for you:
* https://wiby.me/ — search engine that emphasizes simple/plain/hobbyist pages. Try the "surprise me" link a few times.
* https://neustadt.fr/essays/the-small-web/ — article, "Rediscovering the Small Web"
* https://search.marginalia.nu/ — author (hangs out on HN sometimes, too (marginalia_nu)
Actually, here's a link to a similar discussion on an old HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30783391

Ask HN: What's your "it's not stupid if it works" story?
I built a recipe detector. You can, you know, train some sort of AI model to do this like with fasttext, or maybe do naive bayesian inference, but as it turns out, you can also:

It works annoyingly well.
- Marginalia is a great search engine that returns results from lesser-known blogs and websites

A new approach to domain ranking
Result ranking takes a lot of variables, and factors like excessive tracking and affiliate links is one of them in my search engine.
You can poke around in the result valuation code here: https://github.com/MarginaliaSearch/MarginaliaSearch/blob/ma...

"We pulled off an SEO heist with AI and stole 3.6M impressions."
#1 cause in the decline of Google maybe. https://search.marginalia.nu/ seems to manage though, so maybe Google just doesn't care.

Show HN: I am curating the best websites on the internet
Congratulations on shipping.
I see a lot of focus on startups, AI tools, productivity hacks, tech stacks, etc. What audience do you have in mind? I personally find that the most interesting sites on HN are outside of your scope here (examples: https://ciechanow.ski/, https://neal.fun/, https://search.marginalia.nu/).

Is it just me, or is the Internet getting really boring?
If you are curious to find more interesting stuff, start here: – https://mojeek.com/ search engine with own index, totally different results - https://wiby.me/ another search engine, but "old school" kind of web sites. It does not mean that site cannot be new, but it just looks and feels like old school web pages. Funny way is use that "surprise me..." link there to find something - https://peelopaalu.neocities.org/ loooooots of interesting and random strange links to dig deeper on internet than just the sugar coated google-friendly web (aka. ad-friendly commercial web) - https://neocities.org/ the web page where is lots of sites hosted as somebody else already shared this as well there on comments - https://koshka.love/links.html Koshka's web page and its links to find more random stuff. There are interesting opinion texts on his site as well.

The Small Website Discoverability Crisis
Neocities has taken steps to try to improve small personal web site discoverability, which ends up being like a platform for people making web sites with a hybrid social component https://neocities.org
I like the idea of calling this the small web, I usually go with something like "personal web site" or "home pages" but it's never quite stuck for me. I hope they've added Neocities to the Kagi small web search because there's some pretty incredible sites available for that: https://neocities.org/browse
