Kagi Small Web brings you fresh content from real people: bloggers, creators, and independent voices that make the internet worth exploring. The web has become dominated by algorithms, ads, and AI-generated noise. Small Web cuts through it all to surface genuine human expression: personal blogs, independent YouTube creators, open-source projects, and webcomics from people who create because they love it. ## What is the Small Web? Think of the internet as a huge neighborhood. There are millions of people around, but we rarely bump into each other anymore. The Small Web is that quieter corner where real humans share their thoughts, projects, and creativity without the corporate megaphone. Kagi curates thousands of these independent voices and delivers fresh posts from the last seven days, so you always discover something new. ### Features • Browse content from over 30K+ blogs, YouTube creators, GitHub projects, and webcomics • Bookmark posts to read later • Send appreciation to creators • Filter by category to find exactly what interests you • Use reader mode for a clean, distraction-free reading experience ### Open Source Small Web is completely open source. Check out the code, suggest improvements, or see how we curate our sources on GitHub. ### From Kagi Small Web is built by Kagi, the company behind the ad-free Kagi Search. We're on a mission to humanize the web, and this app is one small step toward surfacing the people behind the posts. Ready to meet some neighbors?
