Kagi search results are great, but keywords are not highlighted. How is it usable? Is there an option to enable highlighting?
Thank you!
Can you add the ability to ask questions via GET requests? This is needed to add a site search keyword into the browser. Make it work only when logged in, if you are afraid of bot requests.

There is also a standard to add it automatically ( https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38670851/whats-a-script-... )

This law makes an intelligent speed limiter mandatory to be present in a car, but it does not currently require it to be activated. The software for road sign recognition is currently of poor quality, making a mandatory system impractical.

I understand that, but everyone here is saying that the stuttering version is better in itself and the smooth version is horrible? To my eyes it's the opposite.

So I see a lot of stuttering during panning in that video. With motion smoothing on, almost no stuttering. How can anyone prefer the stuttering version?

I'm in a complete agreement with your analysis.

Suppose profile creation is possible (and marketed to) only on a desktop browser and messaging on mobile is with voice messages, no TTS needed. Do you think this could work?

The niche is small, this won't be a next Tinder, but in absolute numbers it's still a large number of users.

You don't need investors, unless you think you can't get users without buying them. The platform you described don't need much resources and can be bootstrapped. You can still capture just 1% of the value that Match Group captures and live nicely.

I think the reason we don't see competitors like that is that dating without aggressive monetization won't be much better for the average user.

Why would you need to be a billionaire to build a platform like you described? If you think you can't acquire users without big spending, then this platform is not really much better than existing ones?

Surely you can. You can use blind signatures, it's like issuing anonymous tokens in the style of David Chaum digital cash. Or you can just use existing cryptocurrency.

Supposedly they are not doing it because of advantages of associating your payment method and searches.
