For the record this is on Google https://imgur.com/a/De1AVpt definetely not #1

Kagi allows personalization, the difference is you as a user control it. If you used kagi for decade (assuming this is what you used Google for) I am sure the results would be fine tuned to your preference too.

Looks like their own website has been designed with the tool, and it shows.

Unlike coding which is discrete, design makes us feel and is an art. Not sure that this will work.

On a recent United flight to Europe I was in a windowless business class 'window' seat while the person in front of me got to have three windows. I thought it was funny - was clearly an engineering mishap caused by the shape of bc seats.

It is a 'best effort' effort. GitHub friction is there on purpose, as it is a one man effort.

It would've been ironic if we had infinite resources, but this entire project is built and maintained by one person - me. If this is the only thing you found wrong with it - I'll pat myself on the back :)

ps. If you don't want to see this blog again in Small Web, jsut submit a PR to remove it - index of sites is a crowd-sourced effort. Cheers
