> These notes will vanish in about a week as we cycle in new content - emphasizing the fleeting, imperfect nature of the small web.

Kagi could just admit they don't want to moderate notes or store them permanently. No need to push down the small web, because a lot of small sites preserve their content.

I get that Kagi probably has data indicating the reality of how often sites down, but it seems from my experience that content in big platforms disappears often as well, even in the cases where the creator hadn't forgotten about it. The "Small web" websites made by a creator that cares have the room to be much more permanent.

Where do those notes appear?

It would be nice if Kagi Small Web would have an ActivityPub interface so that the most appreciated sites of a day could be added to a timeline on mastodon or lemmy.

That's a funny sentence indeed, most personal sites take painstaking care to not break their 10 or 20 year old links :P
