user-first
we will never serve a single ad.
since we will earn money off of subscriptions and do not accept investments or vc funding,
our platform is not a two-sided market,
and thus we do not have anyone we need to please other than our users!
furthermore, we will attempt to be as transparent about our methods as possible;
all public-facing search engine software will be open-sourced under AGPL, and we will maintain a publicly
viewable
list of the websites that we derank or block, including a reason with each one.
finally, we do not claim to be in any way "apolitical".
we recognize the responsibility we are taking upon ourselves by running a search engine,
and will always respect ethics.
customizable
we aim to design askLyphe in a way that makes personalizing your search results easy and fun!
currently we provide a short list of unique themes to let you properly express yourself through your
searching experience, however in the future we also plan to let you customize many more aspects of
the experience, such as through manual ranking personalisation and complications!
useful, but fun!
our search engine does not rely on (however may still include, for completeness) results from
Google, Bing, or any other search engine out there.
because of this, we're able to find websites that other search engines would have trouble finding,
and bring personality and humanity back to the web!
however, we also recognize that there are many queries that we simply do not have enough information
to handle
in order to fix this issue, we have a system called
complications!
askLyphe complications act in a similar way to watch complications, they show relevant answers to
your
queries with information from trusted sources!
want to find information on the microsoft corporation?
just search "microsoft" to get results from our wikipedia complication!
need to convert 500 feet to kilometers?
just search "500 ft to km" to get results from our unit conversion complication!
plus, we're constantly working on developing new complications, and will allow full customization of the
complications
that you see in your results!
fourth box!
i haven't decided what to put here yet! we're still in alpha so i'm sure i'll come up with something
eventually, but i wanted this fourth box because i feel like the design flows nicer with it (:
