Show HN: Got sick and tired of AI in search engines, so I made my own

https://glass.8ball.space
1•eightballsystem•1h ago
I got sick and tired of how much AI was being pushed at me from nearly every search engine. So I built my own, Project Glass.

It is built on a few core beliefs: Transparency and Privacy is paramount. AI isn't required. Real user engagement is the best signal.

It has a clear transparent (puns intended) algorithm, that you can view on the home page, it takes the following things into account for the ranking: 1. Title 2. Snippet 3. Number of clicks/Click Rate 4. Recency (with a slow decay)

It uses 0 front end Javascript, and no AI in any part of the creation or use of this.

I have been working on this for a while, and this has been my daily use search engine for a few weeks now, if you can please try it out, let me know what you think, and please be kind!

Ill be around all day to answer questions and review feedback.

Thank you!
