Uruky [1] has been doing €2k / month or more for the last few months (not a subscription, though).
PodBy [2] is still below €100 / month, though.
Uruky started out late last year, and was publicly released earlier this year. My wife and I couldn’t stand the bad state (of AI) search and the lack of a simpler Kagi alternative in Europe.
PodBy was recently launched under that name, but its “tech” had been powering a few sites and projects for over a year (partially Uruky, too).

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing! Happy to answer any questions about it.

Thanks for calling that out, it also stood out to me as "falsy".

You're not alone!

I'm saddened by this, and will now need to plan for some migration work in a couple of production projects. Sigh.

I meant that Deno supports the full language, including enums and JSX/TSX. Node doesn't, AFAIK.

I _still_ prefer Deno over Node but I can't say that will be the reality in the near future. Once TypeScript _just works_ (instead of striping types) and the security improvements land by default, I'll probably switch back.
Alarms started ringing for me when they went for backwards support and focused heavily on that, when Bun was already on that route.
Sad but true.

Some pretty cool recommendations here!
I've personally neglected national (Portuguese) authors for about a decade now, so I've started focusing on that; I'm currently reading "Livro do Desassossego" by Fernando Pessoa.
For the few months before that, I'd focused on some classics:
- War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
- Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
- 1984 by George Orwell
- The Village by Ivan Bunin
- The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov
- Siddharta by Hermann Hesse
I read quite a bit and love it; if only I could be paid to do it at my own pace and rhythm!

If you still want a "regular search engine" without GenAI/LLM answers or features, there aren't many options out there, unfortunately.
My wife and I wanted one, so we founded one and launched it earlier this year; we're currently at 350 monthly active accounts, nearing 400.
It's paid and privacy-focused so you get assigned a random account number when you signup (there's no username or email), and you can get 2h for free by solving a proof-of-work captcha.
It's https://uruky.com if you want to give it a shot. If you want some more time to try it out, send us an email and we'll offer you a voucher for a few days.
EDIT: Seems people are downvoting this a lot and potentially interpreting it as spam? Sorry, was just trying to help people who said they wanted something like this, here.

Thanks for your support!
We have been thinking about that, especially because my wife and I do not use most of those settings; they have been built over time with many customer requesting them, and it's gone through a couple of "redesigns" to accommodate all the knobs, though the "default experience" should be more than enough for most people.
I do wonder if we need some guided "wizard" of sorts for making sure it works as people want it, or perhaps a "features" page to explain those things.
I wouldn't want to do videos, as I'm not convinced those would be effective (and they take a significant effort to make).
This is a new account, I'd deleted my previous one back in 2016.
