Privacy focused search engine project
Hello everyone, I've been developing a new search engine that respects the users' privacy and is proudly open-source named Tekir (a popular 🐈 name in 🇹🇷).
I've been trying to get feedback from people, including my friends, family and some technology (and privacy) focused communities in Turkey. I would love your opinions too, because I want to make this project as community-driven as I can.
As we are a privacy-focused search engine, we don't really store any information that the user doesn't want to share, but we still have an account module that users can sign up to boost their (already generous 😺) usage limits.
We are storing registered users' information and choices (like AI models, search preferences etc.) on Convex :convex: (migrated from Supabase, which sped up a lot of functions on production)
Here is some links to check out the service if you want:

We still have areas to improve on accuracy (as you can see in the Wikipedia box on the Convex DB search query), but I am still proud of the design and how it works :)
I'd recommend adding the URL of your app to the GitHub repo and maybe writing up a README
ui looks good
looks and feels nice but yeah accuracy could use some work lol
