    Oh that's quite nice actually! Never seen it! Suppose it's very minimal tho, I'll do some market research to scope the competition lol I feel like more alternatives make a better internet, if you ask me :)

    p.s. thank you! sorted out the readme, my bad

  • Nice! Thank you! Let me know how you get on! :)

  • Ow that's a big compliment, thank you! I think it's just different rather than better as it focuses on user experience more than niche features. It's meant to be an easy way to move out of using Google daily, without too much of a learning curve

    Glad you are enjoying it ♥️

  • Hey! If you go to settings -> store you will find all the plugins/themes/engines I made and use the docs/existing plugins as examples to make your own, I tried to build a variety of them to cover most aspects of customisations ♥️

    Glad you like it! I saw you joined discord so feel free to ping me for more direct questions :)

  • Yaaas! Let me know how you get on with it ♥️

  • YES! Customisation is the main reason why I went out of my way to build it, and other stuff I listed in another comment in the thread :)

    Thank you, if you ever end up making a store with your own plugins/themes and so on just lemme know and I'll add it to the repo, it'd be cool to have a list of available stores already in the beta version, so when I go out of beta it'll feel like a much more mature product <3

  • lol it's a play on the cron syntax, the * is a o in the name/logo

  • Yes, I think that's also very valid, the more people using the same instance the more likely it'll be to get banned, but again, rotating proxy is key to this I suppose

  • [beta] degoog - search engine aggregator

  • Hey! Well, aside from rotating multiple user agents, have a cheeky retry and having a "retry" button next to each engine I also heavily cache results so that for 12 hours the same query will give you the same results from cache. You can always invalidate cache from the settings.

    Another thing you can also do is add multiple proxy that rotate on each request, traffic goes through proxy urls and you don't get hit with rate limiting (again, proxy settings are in the settings tab - you can find free ones around).

    Searches happen asyncronously btw, which means if one engine hangs and fails the others will still return results quickly enough that clicking on the retry button shouldn't be that big of an issue. The biggest engine I have had issues with has been Ecosia, always hitting that pesky cloudflare anti bot page, but that's a third party extension engine, so it doesn't matter too much

    So far I haven't been rate limited by google yet, not gonna claim it won't happen as it probably will, it's the nature of the tool, but finger crossed so far so good.

  • ntfy.sh v2.18.0 was written by AI

    Jump

  • Yeah, I mean, with or without AI, I've always only had a big pull request for releases, from a stable release branch into the main branch, the release branch would be a merge of various branches or just be worked on directly on various stages.

    One big pull request doesn't really mean anything.

  • I keep getting results in different languages, a lot of my engines get rejected, it's quite slow at times and building extensions for it is fairly complex. They also recently restructured their own codebase, which means most of my customisation didn't work anymore, which is when I decided to build my own instead of re-making all the customisations from scratch.

    This is again very personal issues and specific to my use case frankly, and it could be that I wasn't doing customisations right, but the way my brain works is to make something from scratch and learn the ins and out of it, so I just went for it.

    I guess it also is styled more to my linking (plus theming is very extensive) and I wanted to create something that slots things in if wanted (see tmdb above results and rss on the homepage)

  • I miss making artwork

    Jump

  • Annoyingly, after.. uhm... "buying" an old version of photoshop I learned the hard way that my mac only allows 64bit applications and any old photoshop version is 32bit. HOW SAD is that? :/

    I'm unfortunately back to the drawing board lol

  • That sounds very likely! I'll give this another try, I'd love to be able to feel versatile enough to use Affine too, especially as I wouldn't be able to install high sea versions of photoshop on my work laptop and I use that more than anything else lol

  • Now that is absolutely stunning, your colour theory and understanding of depth is stupidly strong! Amazing work!
