Thank you for your wise advice! I will have to choose carefully what to do and what not to do.
Yes I have seen a few mentions about searx, will look into that!
It should look pretty clean, unless you have a browser that always shows scrollbars. What browser and operating system are you using? I think Windows and IE might show scrollbars more. Should look good on majority of popular browsers like mobile and Chrome. But if you give me more details I can look into how it looks on your side.
I did try adding a stronger header look before... but it ended up looking too busy and heavy. Right now I'm trying to lean towards minimal and clean as possible consider the amount of data going on. If you can give me a mock up of what you are thinking I would love to see that!
Would definitely be open to collaborators, will need to figure that out later. Today need to code a bunch of features :)
The design thinking I'm going right now is less options to figure out and click, and just make it easy to jump to any source, and do the best possible to show ranked and relevant sources. What do you think? Would love more input and ideas on this!
Yes that is the idea, people are already searching multiple sources. I was just thinking of how to do that better with a good simple UX.
Let me know if there are specific other sources you would like!
If you give me some more examples, I will add them. I am seeing a lot for hacker news. But how do you think it should be triggered? Show all the time, or show only in certain cases?
For industry things, it would be super helpful if you tell me some exact ones since I'm not in all industries, so I would really know first hand. Thank you!
Hrmmm, I don't have Ubuntu. What version of FF are you using? Did everything not work, or certain parts? I know Firefox seems to block embeds.
What browser are you using?
I would totally be cool with swapping out other search engines, but You.com and DDG don't give any a search API, so can't do that. If you know any good other search engines that I can integrate with an API let me know :)
