I might add a donate button or something if people want to help support the project, hardware isn't cheap and all. But I have a job and decent income. I think if this search engine became the way I earned money, it would influence the project in a bad way, and corrupt its purpose, which is to help people explore the less-commercial internet.

Appreciated. The more things fill up with monetizing shit, the more I stay away. There's something beautiful in having higher purposes than grubbing for cash.

+1 for a donate button; much preferred over affiliate links or ads of any kind. Thank you for making this beautiful little(?) product!

I'd donate to continued expansion/development of something like this. Where is somewhere good to follow you for any thoughts/updates?

I have something of a blog here, with an Atom feed.
https://memex.marginalia.nu/log/
It's not very well optimized for mobile, really it's more of a bridge for my geminispace content.

I added a patron, and huh, a few people are actually donating. I don't really know what to say. Thanks!
