The Kagi Smallweb

Kagi’s Smallweb shuffles posts from independent websites, mostly blogs. It’s a nice idea, I love this way of discovering new authors and content.

Kagi also announced that the search engine will prioritise independent content in their search results. It sounds great in principle. I want a Web that consists of more independent and experimental sites, one that is less commercialised. One way to build this is to highlight content independently published content. But it feels wrong. A search engine should provides the most relevant results first, not the ones from writers we likes most because of how they publish.
