    I see a lot of recommendations for kagi, but no mention of brave search - specifically the (beta) feature called “goggles”. Afaiu it’s a blend of kagi’s “lenses” and the site ranking in search results.

    https://search.brave.com/help/goggles There is a list (search) of public goggles: https://search.brave.com/goggles

    The goggles itself are just text files with basic syntax and can be hosted on e.g. github gist. (though you have to publish it to brave)

    https://github.com/brave/goggles-quickstart/blob/main/goggle...

    Tbh, I can’t really compare brave search to kagi, since I never used kagi (though I’m using Orion - webkit based browser from the same dev and love it). Afaik, brave search is using its own index, thus making the results somehow limited and inferior to kagis. Just wanted to throw some (free) alternative here that works for me. :)

    * Note that Brave search, despite privacy oriented, is still ad funded and there was few controversies about brave’s (browser) privacy in the past. (if that’s relevant for you)

  • whotracks.me

    • Project mention: DOJ finally posted that “embarrassing” court doc Google wanted to hide | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-30

    * There are paid alternatives now, if you want to opt out of what allows them to offer search for "free" then go use those.*

    Paying for search won't change the fact that 75% of all web traffic contains Google trackers.

  • trillian-examples

    • Project mention: UEFI Software Bill of Materials Proposal | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-14

    >This feels like this might actually be a use-case for a blockchain or a Merkle Tree.

    A few years ago, this idea[0] had been explored by Google as a possible application of their Trillian[1] distributed ledger, which is based on Merkle Trees.

    I don't know if they've advanced adoption of Trillian for firmware, however, the website lists Go packaging[2], Certificate Transparency [3], and SigStore[4] as current applications.

    have used Trillian as the basis for their Certificate Transparency implementation.[2]

  • open-expenses

    A curated list of private businesses publicly sharing their expenses.

    • Project mention: My Frugal Indie Dev Startup Stack | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-07

    I've compiled a list of businesses that are sharing their expenses publicly, adding this one as well: https://github.com/jmstfv/open-expenses

    on the stack itself: it might seem overpriced (or even overengineered), but if that's what they're comfortable with, so be it. getting your product out there faster and being more agile (no pun intended) is worth much more than saving here and there - you can always optimize later (which is a place most businesses won't ever reach, unfortunately).
