Can you daisy chain another set of these so that I have 4 monitors total or can you just daisy chain one set?
We're talking about Kagi, not Google. I edited my answer yesterday shortly after posting so that might be the confusion. Why would I pay a premium for a search engine that returns a full page of spam?
There are Chrome extensions to remove the ones you don't want so not sure why I'd pay a premium to remove them. w3schools is the first result when I search for "php loop" so Kagi seems to be full of the same spam you are trying to escape:
https://kagi.com/search?q=php+loop
I don't understand why Kagi is appealing, tbh. It just gives you Google and Bing results. What type of censorship does Kagi really apply? It wasn't until just recently that DDG admitted to censorship. Not sure if I can trust Kagi's promises of privacy, etc since they don't open source it...the same problem I have with DDG.
Couldn’t the user just use a !bang for that?
To clarify, if I search for "Bob Marley" what would happen?
`We almost need an “Open Search Co-Op” which smaller search engines can join to share technology and refers users to each other.`
Can you elaborate?
`see search results for different genres/communities`
Can you elaborate?
Hi everyone,
I created this because I needed an easy way to embed a map into a website without the hassle of creating a database. Since my data was already in Google Sheets I figured why not make an Add-on for it? Once the app is created you simply copy and paste a couple of lines of code into your website. The app automatically updates when you update your Google Sheet. In addition to maps, charts, and tables, I have more visualizations I plan on adding.

Hi everyone,
I open sourced this because Add-ons for Google Sheets have lots of power (like reading your spreadsheet, etc) and I want people to know exactly what we do with those permissions. There are a lot of other Add-ons in the Google Workspace Marketplace that do the same thing but this is the only one that is open source. Also, ours has the most generous free tier of them all.
Hi everyone,
I open sourced this because mail merge Add-ons for Google Sheets have lots of power (like reading your spreadsheet, connecting to your Gmail account, etc) and I want people to know exactly what we do with those permissions. Unlike most of the other mail merge Add-ons, Mailman doesn't require permission to read your Gmail account. Also, ours has the most generous free tier of them all.

What wording is similar? Interfaces also look different and their homepages look completely different. Using your logic, Mailmeteor looks as much like YAMM as this one does to Mailmeteor. Like I said, they all kinda look similar and do the same thing.
Almost. Really wanting a list of all of the individual endpoints for each of the APIs (unless I'm not seeing it on that page)

I'm aware of lists like https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis that list APIs. Is there a repo out there (or something else) that lists not only the API provider but also all of their endpoints? e.g. for Binance, something like this:```GET /sapi/v1/capital/config/getallGET /sapi/v1/accountSnapshotPOST /sapi/v1/account/disableFastWithdrawSwitch......etc.```Would need not only all of the APIs...

I've been building Jive Search. There's already tons of competitors in search (Google, Bing, etc.). There's also DuckDuckGo, StartPage, etc. that claim to be privacy-focused but are just as opaque as Google. The niche I'm targeting is users that understand that for true privacy in search you have to be transparent and open source so that users can view the code and run it on their own if they want.
I run Jive Search so I might be biased: How is DuckDuckGo any more private than Google? They are similarly closed source and just as opaque.
I believe that's because of opensearch and not necessarily a Chrome thing.
Something like what we do at Jive Search? Google/Bing/Amazon/YouTube are the defaults but these are customizable with the "b" param...."&b=b,yf"
Have you tried Jive Search? I run it and it's 100% open source. Would love your feedback.
If you click on their "Sources" link it shows a lot of links but then has this note: "This list is intended as a guide to sources of further information. The inclusion of an item in this list does not necessarily mean that its content was used as the basis for any specific Wolfram|Alpha result."
Basically trying to obfuscate where they are really getting the info.
Been thinking more on this...I think I have an idea how to do it: Wikidata has the USDA ID for a lot (but not all) of items. From there we can get the rest.

I am developing a nutrition instant answer for Jive Search and am looking for data sources for queries like "calories in a big mac", "how much protein is in milk?", etc. I am aware of USDA's API but finding relevant products in their API is somewhat challenging. For instance, finding "butter" returns a lot of irrelevant...
Just got done adding it. Let me know if there are any issues.
A better way than open sourcing it?
