Great it is working good for you, that makes me very happy. Glad it is smooth and fast. I tried really hard to make it super fast and optimized and small.

Thank you very much for your spacing feedback. What device are you using to browse? I could try making the column a bit more wider and more spacing... It is a big tradeoff between information density and spacing.

Maybe give it a try for a week and let me know if you get use to it? It will take a bit of getting use to, because the density is not like most other search engines. For example Kagi only has 1 column and a bunch of empty space on both sides.

I will need to be thinking more about spacing... thank you!



I've used an iPhone 13 pro to try it out. I think just making the column on the right about half the width that it's right now would go a long way. It's just there to show me that I can swipe to the right, not to actually be readable. Right now it takes up to much space as an indicator, but too little to convey information. I think that's what's bothering me.

I could probably get used to the main column being off-center pretty quickly, so it's really just the width of the right column.


I had a similar thought to the previous commenter. Perhaps the overflow hints could take up half of the current width, which would allow for a slightly wider first and last column. That, along with with a gradient overlaid on the sides with overflow available, fading from white at the screen edge to transparent, may provide the visual affordance you’re seeking, and the de-emphasis that seems appropriate.
