Kagi launches mobile apps and browser extensions for its human-curated “Small Web,” bringing indie content to iOS and Android devices.
Palo Alto: Kagi is making its “Small Web” available on mobile devices. This is a collection of websites written by real people, not computers. The Small Web includes personal blogs, webcomics, and independent videos that were common on the early internet.
Kagi started this project in 2023 to help people find human-made content. Now they have apps for phones and tablets, plus tools for web browsers. Users can choose what kind of content they want to see, like videos or blogs, and save their favorite sites.
The Small Web works like a modern version of StumbleUpon. It shows random sites from over 30,000 hand-picked websites. Users can also browse by categories they like. They can see recently visited sites or popular ones too.
Some users think Kagi should include more types of websites. Right now, they only show sites with RSS feeds that have new posts. Some worry that fake human-written content might slip through. Despite these concerns, many people think having a space for real human writing is important, especially when so much online content is made by AI.
