"Ever feel like the Internet has gotten a bit... I don't know, samey? There's
funny images scrolling by and you blow some air through your nose and keep
scrolling and then someone has done something upsetting and you write an angry
comment and then you scroll some more.
Remember when used to explore the Internet, when you used to discover cool
little websites made by people and it wasn't just a bunch of low effort content
mill listicles and blog spam?
I want to show you that that Internet you used to go exploring is still very
much there. There are still tons of small personal websites, and a wealth of
long form text from both the past and the present.
So it's a search engine. It's perhaps not the greatest at finding what you
already knew was there, instead it is designed to help you find some things you
didn't even know you were looking for.
If you are looking for facts you can trust, this is almost certainly the wrong
tool. If you are looking for serendipity, you're on the right track. When was
the last time you just stumbled onto something interesting, by the way?
I don't expect this will be the next "big" search engine. This is and will
remain a niche tool for a niche audience."
