I made an open source search engine that searches her user curated mind maps on the web. Here is the search :

https://learn-anything.xyz/

Since everything is open source and I can't run ads or add any sponsored content, the only way to support it is through Patreon. I think it is a pretty cool idea and solves a big problem of not knowing how how best to start learning a topic or what learning some topic X is.

I hope people will find it useful.

How so? There is nothing in the open source model that prohibits this. Is it because it because you feel that the type of people who are interested in open source will get angry if you have ads?

Yeah, I think ads can't really work well in our search + most users run adblocks already. We are still experimenting with ways we can monetise this project however in a way that doesn't reduce the value and quality of the product.

I was starting to build something similar but your execution seems better, thank you!
