    In my opinion the colors they use are fairly flat and ui in general looks good. Results are decent, I might switch to this thank you for the suggestion. Also this will never appeal to the larger crowd, not without tons of marketing. They simply don’t have the resources for it.

      It is possible to appeal to the larger crowd without a ton of marketing, see Signal recently for example!

      And it’s not like they’re not capable of doing stuff, on their front-page they advertise the service private.sh, in partnership with Private Internet Access.

      Results are decent

      I don’t believe that you actually think that.

      Edit: I quoted the wrong part, I meant I didn’t beleive you when you said “ui in general looks good”

        Signal was just lucky, one tweet brought it glory. I didn’t use it much yet but from what I can tell yes results decent for an independent search engine.

          Signal was already being used by non tech-savvy people, and it was able to gain that much popularity because its UX is decent enough.

          I quoted the wrong part, I meant:

          ui in general looks good

          I don’t believe you actually think that.

          The results themselves are somewhat decent.

            Yes I really do like the UI. It screams Web 1.0 and it’s beautiful, I love classic web UIs. I just really like how they look, I really don’t like the generic and bland look of modern UIs of the web services of today, with some exceptions.
