about askLyphe and its creators
askLyphe is a search engine currently being developed by the Vore Microcomputers Team at Real Microsoft, LLC. (not affiliated with the Microsoft Corporation or its products). this currently consists of Niko Viau-Chow-Stuart, as well as our volunteers.
our goal is to create a search engine that is fast, accurate, and ad-free; while also being well-built with features that we find useful, and with leadership that both respects its users and supports the safety of the people that made it possible.
in order to follow these goals, Real Microsoft, LLC will never accept investments, VC funding, or any income beyond that earned through profit and donations.
we will strive to keep these goals and values as the foundation of our company til either the day that the downfall of capitalism removes the need for us to run a company in order to make the IRS happy; or when microsoft sues us out of existence.
pricing and availability
currently, askLyphe is only available to those who have been given invite codes. we are planning on soon allowing our liberapay donators to get free invite codes, and in the future switch to a public subscription model (with all previous users getting free lifetime access).
our plan for pricing in the future is probably around $5USD a month. no particular reason, it just seems like a good number (: we may change it in the future.
