🐝 Hive Five 107 – The Anti-Recon Recon Club, Till REcollapse, and Privacy Guides.

Hi friends,

Greetings from the hive!

I hope you are crushing your yearly goals. I recently Tweeted asking what people used as a daily search engine. For me, Google and even DuckDuckGo weren’t providing the results I needed.

I mentioned that I tried out Kagi and that I loved it, but sadly the trial ran out. At first, paying a monthly fee seemed a bit much, but this HackerNews thread and deciding to invest in productivity changed my mind.

What was your latest productivity investment?

Let’s take this week by swarm!
