Ask HN: Is Kagi Search Down? For about 30 minutes now, all Kagi search requests appear to return a blank screen. It also seems to take longer for the request to resolve. Their status page[1] shows no issues, and their unauthenticated home page also appears to be fine. |
We did indeed have an infra glitch, that should be resolved by now. Sorry for the interruption.
The status page was indeed useless as it needs to be manually updated with the incident, and we prioritised fixing the issues vs doing this. This obviously needs to change. Any statuspage services that do a decent job at this?
For status page, host a simple server somewhere that is not managed by your infra that just do a curl request (or whatever script you see fit, just make it self contained). Have another domain pointing to it. This can help: https://github.com/ivbeg/awesome-status-pages
I type searches in my URL bar across multiple machine and mobile devices dozens of times an hour during "heads down" times.
May I suggest (if browser extension apis allow this) for the extension to fall back to google (or whatever was configured before kagi) if a response from Kagi is not received in some timeout seconds.
However, some of the regions from https://status.kagi.com/ did work for me, while kagi.com and the Europe regions did not.
I thought it was just me as the status page did not update, these things happen but would be better if the status page was more responsive.
Anyone know the link to their status page?
