- Comment on Probably want to stop using Booklore... 3 days ago:
Thanks, I’ll individually look into all of these ♥️ I’ll say some of them are more conscious compromises for the sake of an open scalable system where third party extensions can truly edit anything (intentionally) and everything around Auth/secure cookie is also fairly lax due to the fact the Auth is just a protection for the settings (which literally stop the settings from being served by the client), in the moment I decide to add some more structured Auth system/maybe users I’ll look into proper secure cookie handling.
This is an awesome report, thank you so much for sharing it!!!

degoog Dev here, definitely not vibecoded. Would you be able to tell me all these whack of privacy issues? I thought I had everything covered, but if you found something concerning it’d be nice to know before I get it out of beta :)

Hey, not sure what you mean, it works perfectly fine as rootless. Are you using docker or podman? Someone else had this issue with podman and we couldn’t figure out why it was different for them.
Everyone else is running this as user
1000, which is what the standard compose requires? - Comment on [beta] degoog - search engine aggregator 6 days ago:
Aw thank you so much for giving it a try and leaving such a nice feedback ♥️ I am searching in a slightly different way than searxng, can’t promise it’ll work forever but for now it seems to be doing the trick ♥️ I have some more improvements to the search system coming with the next release as Bing does get blocked quite often for me.
P.s. have you been using any extensions? If so what’s your fave so far? Haha

Hi, this needs to be selfhosted in order for you to use it, it’s not an app :) You can definitely use it from IOS once you have it running tho

Hey thank you!
The issue with GitHub alternatives is the lack of runners/pipelines and restricting functionalities.
Gitlab is a good alternative but I use it for work and having two accounts juggling between work/personal projects is a recipe for disaster.
I spent a bit of time on codeberg and I am checking it out, happy to push the repo there too, but they don’t seem to provide pipeline options, so I wouldn’t be able to build the docker image there like I do on GitHub :)
Btw whilst I do believe into the whole Microsoft scraping projects to train AI regardless of licenses, I wouldn’t say they are hostile towards open source. They actually are extremely for it, vscode is free and one of the best IDEs out there for example, GitHub free plan is VERY generous and they have a whole FREE coding academy with extremely in-depth courses on how to learn programming and various niche topics. And they integrated wsl to seamlessly run Linux commands within windows, which I never thought I’d see happen (been there for years, but I’m just giving you examples).

Thank you! I mean, I am not trying to compete with Google, maybe when I release out of beta I’ll let the community that’s slowly creating around it decide a new name, we’ll see ♥️ wouldn’t be the first time I do that with my apps :)
- Comment on [beta] degoog - search engine aggregator 1 week ago:
Thank you so much!! Let me know if you run into any issue, it’s fairly stable for a beta, but I’m sure there’s a ton of quirks that still need sorting ❤

This is stupidly cool omg

Oh that’s quite nice actually! Never seen it! Suppose it’s very minimal tho, I’ll do some market research to scope the competition lol I feel like more alternatives make a better internet, if you ask me :)
p.s. thank you! sorted out the readme, my bad

I can see a dogdog theme about to happen 🤣
- Comment on [beta] degoog - search engine aggregator 1 week ago:
Nice! Thank you! Let me know how you get on! :)
- Comment on [beta] degoog - search engine aggregator 1 week ago:
Ow that’s a big compliment, thank you! I think it’s just different rather than better as it focuses on user experience more than niche features. It’s meant to be an easy way to move out of using Google daily, without too much of a learning curve
Glad you are enjoying it ♥️
- Comment on [beta] degoog - search engine aggregator 1 week ago:
Hey! If you go to settings -> store you will find all the plugins/themes/engines I made and use the docs/existing plugins as examples to make your own, I tried to build a variety of them to cover most aspects of customisations ♥️
Glad you like it! I saw you joined discord so feel free to ping me for more direct questions :)
- Comment on [beta] degoog - search engine aggregator 1 week ago:
Yaaas! Let me know how you get on with it ♥️
- Comment on [beta] degoog - search engine aggregator 1 week ago:
YES! Customisation is the main reason why I went out of my way to build it, and other stuff I listed in another comment in the thread :)
Thank you, if you ever end up making a store with your own plugins/themes and so on just lemme know and I’ll add it to the repo, it’d be cool to have a list of available stores already in the beta version, so when I go out of beta it’ll feel like a much more mature product <3

lol it’s a play on the cron syntax, the
*is aoin the name/logo - Comment on [beta] degoog - search engine aggregator 1 week ago:
Yes, I think that’s also key, the more people using the same instance the more likely it’ll be to get banned, but again, rotating proxy is key to this I suppose
- Comment on [beta] degoog - search engine aggregator 1 week ago:
Hey! Well, aside from rotating multiple user agents, have a cheeky retry and having a “retry” button next to each engine I also heavily cache results so that for 12 hours the same query will give you the same results from cache. You can always invalidate cache from the settings.
Another thing you can also do is add multiple proxy that rotate on each request, traffic goes through proxy urls and you don’t get hit with rate limiting (again, proxy settings are in the settings tab - you can find free ones around).
So far I haven’t been rate limited by google yet, not gonna claim it won’t happen as it probably will, it’s the nature of the tool, but finger crossed so far so good.
- Comment on New ntfy.sh v2.18.0 was written by AI 1 week ago:
Yeah, I mean, with or without AI, I’ve always only had a big pull request for releases, from a stable release branch into the main branch, the release branch would be a merge of various branches or just be worked on directly on various stages.
One big pull request doesn’t really mean anything.
- Comment on [beta] degoog - search engine aggregator 1 week ago:
I keep getting results in different languages, a lot of my engines get rejected, it’s quite heavy and building extensions for it is fairly complex. They also recently restructured their own codebase, which means most of my customisation didn’t work anymore, which is when I decided to build my own instead of re-making all the customisations from scratch.
This is again very personal issues and specific to my use case frankly, and it could be that I wasn’t doing customisations right, but the way my brain works is to make something from scratch and learn the ins and out of it, so I just went for it.
I guess it also is styled more to my linking (plus theming is very extensive) and I wanted to create something that slots things in if wanted (see tmdb above results and rss on the homepage)

Nice!
The only drawback I have had for heavily customising it is that it’s now not compatible with the latest versions, unfortunately they’ve re-structured their codebase and I frankly don’t have the time to re-do all my hard work, so I’ve been running a very old (but extremely stable) version of it lol

the wife is so not interested
So relatable… haha
Thanks so much for you work and rest assured amongst the negativity you may receive in certain corners of the web, there are people truly appreciative of yours, and others like you, hard work.
Thank YOU! I am so glad you found Jotty useful and resonated with it!

If you end up installing it, give my theme a go, it’s part of the official ones, just search for

Well that specific system could emulate all the way up to ps2, plenty of fun to be had lol I’m sure every single arcade system can be emulated with no issues, may struggle a bit with game cube/wii
Obviously… make sure you only use original copies of your own videogames… you wouldn’t steal a car would you
- Comment on open source journey - 2025 was a big year! 2 months ago:
Thank you :) and that’s still extremely valuable and please feel free to contribute if you feel like it!
I am a “fix it forward” kinda person, worked for a decade in digital agencies and even tho I now work as a tech lead in a slow-ish software engineering company I still have that hectic mentality/background, hard to shake it off you know hahaha
And yeah, I have two kids under 4, so I totally get the whole time consuming part, if it weren’t for my peculiar situation I don’t think I’d get as much done as I do now not gonna lie. AI also helps speed things up, for example I added translation support to Jotty and having Claude tackle half the code base string replacement while I was doing the other half felt like having an intern!!
- Comment on open source journey - 2025 was a big year! 2 months ago:
Actually that was a conscious choice! I initially went for MIT on them as they were small little apps I used withing my house with my wife, but as they grew I decided I wanted to truly protect the open source nature of them
Reading a bit into licensing I learned that with gplv3 projects can be copied/taken without credits/do anything people want with it, just like MIT, however they MUST stay open source.
Which means no greedy corporation can steal my code, improve upon it, close source it and pay wall features :) they can still do all that, but code must always be open source haha
