Ok this is great if all I want to do is read text, but often times that is very much not all I want to do. The web is much more than text and images these days. I can appreciate this as long as it’s branded as a search engine for blogs and articles specifically, as opposed to being touted as a drop-in replacement for the modern search engine.


Is this a criticism? It doesn't at all seem touted as a drop-in replacement for the modern search engine.


I do think this is a great tool, I didn’t intend to come off as being critical. I think I had some misdirected frustration from people on HN talking about how the modern web is bad and should be replaced with a text protocol. I aspire to create web apps that push the boundaries of what is possible today, and feel disappointed whenever I encounter people advocating for regression.

But I digress. In hindsight, my comment was obnoxious and under-appreciative of the tool being shared, and my rant was only tangentially related.
