Uruky sounds like the google that we used to have: one that's just good because it returns relevant results, not because of ecosystem lock-in.
replyThat being said, can't help noticing the [NO-AI] at the beginning of the post, and I wonder whether it would help adaption if you also make the search engine available to agents for paid customers.
Since you are based in the EU you could try to get on https://european-alternatives.eu/category/search-engines (or any other page listing EU-based alternatives to foreign services).
replySurprisingly, my Kagi search for “eu alternatives” to get the link showed this blog post: https://yeechie.nl/uruky-kagi-alternative-eu-based-private-s... as a second result, what a weird coincidence.
Oh, wow, thanks for sharing, I wasn’t aware of that post! We’ve tried to reach out to European Alternetives before, but never got a reply, unfortunately.
replyI'm rooting hard for Uruky. Is it showing any traction? I would love to hear this turn into a story where it sustains your family and a few employees.
replyThank you so much! We would definitely love to have that happen, too! We couldn’t have imagined we’d get to 100 monthly active accounts so soon (and now past 150), but we’d need at least an order of magnitude more in order to have it be sustainable as a full time business for us.
replyThat being said, it definitely looks possible, so we’re excited! As it stands, it’s already sustainable part-time and can go long-term.
