Not to overemphasize meta commentary, but damn 3200 points, 650 comments in 2 days -- this is one of the highest rated posts I can remember. Seems HN readers are very interested in alternatives to the current search hegemony and the kind of low-quality junk articles that litter it.
I'm still a bit stunned at the reception this has gotten.
I wasn't even planning to launch this, not like this, there's so much that needs to be fixed to get it working good, so much jank and so many weird limitatons. It's quietly been online for a few months. But it's not really worked all that well except in rare cases. Then I fixed a few issues and implemented some improvements, and it was really just last weekend that I was struck by the sense that it actually was coming together into something really viable, and then... this happened.
I've gotten so many positive comments about this project, a large number of emails and I haven't had the time to get back to half the people who wrote, even people donating money to support it.
I half thought I becoming the next TempleOS-guy, hacking away at some madcap scheme all by myself. I just had no idea this resonated with so many people.
It's incredibly encouraging and motivating. Thanks everyone!
