379 sats \ 3 replies \ @Kaffi 5 Dec 2022 \ on: Building a new Web Search Engine. Just for you, Stackers! bitcoin
Pretty cool, but kind of weird that I have to buy a "plan" to search like I don't want to be working and have to re-up my account. You should probably use the stacker news model and just let me fill up a wallet and then you can just charge 10 sats per search and if I don't like the product I can withdraw my sats at any time. Sent you some sats though because I have decided to always gift sats to any builders.
Thanks a lot for your support! I agree that the payment model isn't perfect. The 'plan' you buy is a way to 'fill up' and then run searches at the specific price. There is no withdraw feature atm, but that sounds nice, gonna add that! I didn't want to force you into creating an account on a search engine that doesn't track you :)

I mean I would just log in using LNURL right so while it creates an account it wouldn't be the normal kind? based on your other comments though seems like you don't want to manage accounts. which makes sense but seems very limiting

Not that I'm totally against accounts, but people should at least be able to use this without an account to avoid being tracked. I'll think about that, maybe having an LNURL-based account would allow me to build some unique features, like personal filters to remove mass-media sites etc... Thank you!
