dom-distiller VS hn-search

The one ask you have that Literal doesn't yet support is read mode for sources (though it will automatically archive / backup sources). It looks like Chrome's read mode (i.e. the "Show simplified view" toolbar) is open source, so I think I could add support relatively quickly if you're interested.

It's April 23rd, 2024, and I am still looking for a good, reliable, honest and simple search engine.

All I want to do is search.

No AI.

No ads.

No shopping.

Please don't "Answer my question." I enjoy doing my own original research, thanks.

I'm entirely willing - wanting even - to pay for it.

Currently Kagi has my $, but I'm saddened and frustrated that they're not even focused on Search, they're focused on AI[1] and t-shirts.

Amazingly, in 2024, there is still a market opportunity for a good search engine.

It can't really just be me, can it?

For historical purposes

Most likely because there have been oodles of low-quality stories on these topics. We turned the flags off on this one since it maybe rises above the noise (see https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so... for past explanations on how we approach that).

Hey HN,

I'm sure you've seen the monthly "Ask HN: What Are You Working On?" headlines on [Hacker News](https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...).

Honestly, it's my favorite topic because it's packed with insights about what other hackers are up to.

I wondered what it would be like if instead of just a headline, there was a whole website where hackers could post daily updates, and where we could follow the hackers we're interested in for their latest updates. And so, this web site was born.

I hope it gets used frequently so we can all benefit from it together. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Let me know what you think!

I don't know what one thing you're referring to, but it's a core principle of HN to try to avoid repetition, and especially the repetition+indignation combo, which is the commonest and most tedious thing on the internet.

not sure. I searched comments: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastYear&page=0&prefix=fal...

Most recent are more culture wars stuff but some earlier ones appear to suggesting a degree of alignment with the USA government.

This is a topic that has come up a ton on HN, in submitted articles[1] and practically once a day in comments[2]

Many stories related to the ongoing famine and genocide in Gaza are tech-related: tech companies big and small are enabling Israel's military action in Gaza and in some cases directly supporting the occupation and genocide. The injustices of the real world are often played out again in cyber space, what some people have called a "digital apartheid".

This week, both Google and Amazon employees protested their company's involvement in this, and the stories relating to this were immediately removed from Hacker News front page. Why?

Why is HN flagging anything related to this topic?
