Vlad from Kagi here.<p>All Kagi services are operational since approximately two hour ago. There are no signs of further issue propagation.<p>The intermittent disruption of service lasted for seven and a half hours, our longest disruption to date.<p>We apologize for the inconvenience and we will do our best to make sure this does not happen again by reviewing all circumstances that lead to the incident.<p>Post-mortem coming in the release notes on Tuesday.<p>Thank you for your patience and support.
I love kagi, so the fact that they're down sucks even harder. But they're honest and transparent about the situation.
Not that "increased level of errors" or "degraded experience" nonsense
I have been using Kagi for a few months, happy customer.<p>Only problem is now, when I happen to use google, I keep accidently clicking on the ads! My ad-avoid skills are withering.
I’m a fairly new customer, but I’m really enjoying Kagi. It brought me back to using a search engine instead of defaulting to GPT.<p>I too appreciate the transparent communication!
Funny coincidence, my subscription ends today. I’m switching to self employment and won’t be able to afford the service for a while. I wish it were more affordable, because the freeing feeling of not having to rely on google is irreplaceable.
I love Kagi, used my free searches and customized the crap out of it. It would absolutely be worth the cost if I wasn't penny pinching because of cost of living increases and inflation.<p>Oh well, back to bing with GPT4 chat/search.
I have been a paying Kagi customer for the past year and could not be happier. It is a small sliver of sanity showing what the internet could be without the cancer of ad driven anti patterns.
Glad to hear it was transient and Kagi is on top of fixing it. Apparently quite a few reading HN use Kagi. I've been happy with it so far and I'm glad that there's an actually usable and actually feature-superior alternative to Google.
resolved now. but the status page was excellent and was up-to-date immediately. It made me feel comfortable using an alternative for a bit while I waited for it to come back up
Single data point for consideration: For some reason, I'm not leaving.<p>It's tempting to speculate on the motivation for even posting, because they aren't gooogle or amazon, and it's utterly uninteresting for any smaller company to have incidents once in a while.<p>Maybe the point was to show how frank they are about stuff like this instead of trying to bs everyone?<p>I guess one thing I do find pretty interesting is how all the comments have been "whatever I love'em"
