How does it work? Is it like a meta search engine where your service sends the query to all the apis, or do you actually have an index of all this stuff?
More like a meta search and we send queries to all this APIs individually, have you tried it ?, what do you think.
It seems pretty cool, but I don’t think I’m the best person to ask. Most of social media I don’t use, and I’m not terribly interested if the results are from the apis directly. If it was an independent index of these sites, or if it took a really long time to get all the available results from the apis and then reranked them, then I would be interested because there is a lot of censorship and downranking, and it would be nice to get past that.

I just tried it with the query “reckless ben”, and in the “all” tab a lot of the results are from various websites (like kotaku), where do these results come from?

This is basically Googling for Gen-Z, I love it
