What should I work on next? A search engine called Findcafe, a native Android app for Newscafe, redesigning Sub with photos support or any other idea you might have.

I'd love to see a search engine that could categorize sites. E.g. a filter to remove redundant blog spam, restrict to university sites, or corporate sites that fully identify a business, etc.

You read my mind. I figured something like would be useful when I wanted to build a search feature for Newscafe. Why build it just for news sites?

+1. It really seems like we hit a local maximum with Google/Bing/DDG and it's time for something different. I have a lot of frustrations around finding niche content, paging through results, and discoverability of what's out there when you get past the spam. If you're interested I may try to articulate these frustrations more specifically and think about how they could be overcome.

I'm not sure yet how far I can take it, but if I fit all the pieces together I might end up with something useful. Text parsing is a bit tricky but it will work, following links and building a global tree is doable, letting users save interesting links is simple, commenting on search results is something I want.

What about letting people give tags or some kind of voting, to inform about the quality of the webpage and to also challenge fake-news and radical websites. This shouldn't be much more data and could possible greatly benefit the search-results
