There is but one truly serious question in modern media, and it is whether the ad loaded. All the rest, war, famine, the fate of nations, comes after.

What is the greatest country in the world?
Five years on, GreatCountry.org refreshed. 159 countries, 37 statistically uncorrelated indicators, from democracy and life expectancy to climate, asylum applications, working hours and Olympic medals per capita.

Updated my pet project: GreatCountry.org.
As far as I know it's the largest independent study ranking countries on factors that don't correlate with each other.
Includes loneliness, generosity, working hours, asylum applications, biodiversity, food self-sufficiency, Olympic medals per capita and 30 other data sources.

The web doesn't need a smarter ad machine. It needs search that is paid for by the user it serves.
That is Kagi. And our Search API is launching soon, so the same principle and highest quality results are available to builders too.

"One news window per day."
This is exactly a defining mechanism of Kagi News:
news.kagi.com
3) Doomscroll the news
Sapolsky: "You read about what's happening in Ukraine or Bangladesh and you activate the same 150-million-year-old stress circuitry that evolved for outrunning predators."
One news window per day. Same for social.

Thanks for a wonderful review Matt!
A more positive post this week! I was happy to run across @KagiHQ, which not only offers a paid search engine free of ads and bias, but also runs an initiative to improve visiblity of small and independent websites. mattcasmith.net/2026/04/12/k…

One step at a time...
Canadian radio host Tod Maffin breaks down ten reasons he ditched Google for Kagi, and honestly, we couldn't have said it better ourselves:

Someone made a Kagi memecoin. We built a LinkedIn translator and accidentally became a crypto project. 2026 is wild.
