I've used the paid Kagi for awhile and it is excellent.
I suspect I'm in the minority here on Mastodon. But I'm very much looking forward to the new Googlebook this Fall/Winter. I've always liked Chromebooks and am excited about Googlebook after their teaser.

I hit reset on social media a month ago. I deleted almost all my social media accounts. After having a break and deciding what platforms made sense and add value to my life I am rebuilding those accounts again.
So, hello again!
