I would like for Kagi to collect data on my interactions with the platform, and leverage this data to deliver user-behavior driven features. User workflow may be impacted by additional privacy related preferences.
As a user:
I want Kagi to deliver an optimized experience.
I love and appreciate the wealth of innovative tools that Kagi makes available to subscribers. I have limited attention and patience budgets when it comes to tweaking and tuning.
Features like ranking adjustment are high-five worthy, but it's a tool to control page rank, not a solution to the core complaint: "Why aren't these results presented in the order I expect/desire?".
As a subscriber:
If I am paying for a service type that is generally regarded as free, it needs to exceed the value delivered by the free service. Kagi is crushing this delivery in several under-served dimensions of it's product class, but it's lagging in several that are driven by data.
As an engineer:
I see this capability as a blocker to delivery of a critical "class" of features that I expect from a modern search provider. I'd expect implementation to be arduous but not impossible. Modern responsible data handling is a robust practice.
As an internet user:
Data is a tool that has been wielded against me by the pointy end of the Fortune list. The value of user data is unquestionable. Why does it always have to be evil? Please provide this type of value in a way that doesn't make me feel ick.
