Uruky
A private, paid, ad-free, personally customizable search engine. Signup requires no personal information (a randomly-generated account number is assigned), and a proof-of-work captcha grants 2 hours of free use. Users can pick among many search providers for defaults and per query, including Uruky Site Search, which is powered by the project's own index that is growing slowly with a focus on the indie/small web. Recently shipped features include an image search gallery mode, a calculator and conversion widget, and Tags and Scopes. After 12 months as a paying customer, users receive a copy of the source code (licensed BUSL, converting to AGPLv3 in 2 years).
Problem: Offers a private, ad-free alternative to ad-driven search engines; the main ongoing challenge is discoverability and outreach, which is handled ethically without Big Tech or generative AI/LLMs.
