Decentralized Search
People
Description / What is your motivation?
Building a decentralized search engine. I'm at the very beginning of this "adventure" so am interested in finding collaborators! TL;DR: Google doesn’t cut it for search anymore, particularly as user-generated content continues to increase in number, quality, and fragmentation across platforms. If I, for instance, Google decentralized governance, I get very basic Wikipedia and IMF articles.
This serves some use case, but I want to see different results - I want to see the BEST podcasts, Medium posts, and Tweetstorms on the topic by leading crypto entrepreneurs, investors, and academics. I might want to see what the people I follow on Twitter have written on the topic (or what the people they follow have written on the topic) .
I think there is MASSIVE opportunity to build in this space. Two ideas: 1) a generalizable indexer for content which one can fork and plug in custom search variables into (I.e. show me what the people I follow on Twitter have written on X). 2) a token which incentivizes “in-groups” (I.e. people within crypto) to rank content on a particular topic (I.e. decentralized governance). Their ranking will impact the content which shows up in response to a search on that topic.
