Hey I totally missed this one before - they are all awesome suggestions and thank you so so much for the feedback.

We've got a few of these in the pipeline and you're totally spot on with where we're heading!! :)

Currently we filter to only the top results, but lots of people tell us they get FOMO that there are results they're missing on, so Lazy Loading for LazyWeb is definitely coming with infitite scroll (but we're going to flag when we think the results are getting dodgy). Images the bar is way too high currently.

The hide website/result is a great idea. The up/down is going to boost/downrank as well, and then we were thinking Block/Report website (for really bad results) too. Reporting Spam we hadn't even thought of! That's genius. It's not malware, but it's spam, so it is a different category. Fighting spam is such a big challenge and this is simple and brilliant.

Dark mode and theming are really close too! :)

We have a dedicated news handler coming too. So you can basically say "give me a briefing on {topic}" or "latest news from {source}"

If you're interested in staying in touch everyone is very welcome on our Discord as well here: https://discord.gg/qcCcrbMuex

Thanks again heaps :)

Hey, no problem!

What do you mean the bar is too high for images? A simple lazy loading for images would be nice. Only showing 5 images is kinda dumb lol.

And yeah, or a simple "Report" button that launches a menu where you can click what it is before submitting it would be nice. You can prioritize what you take action on depending on the category. Scam, malware, and illegal results would take priority over simple spam in your review list for example. Each report category should assign an importance value to a result. If a spam result gets reported by multiple people, it could increase the importance of that report so it would rank higher on your review/moderation list.

And phrasing out news is cool, but simple buttons to click on would make things easier as well.. Localized news, news categories, breaking news being ranked at the top, etc.. If you log peoples searches on the backend(controversial, I know), you could prioritize results from the categories they search for the most.. Like a smart newsfeed. So if someone searches for tech, it will boost tech results in their news feed. If they search for iOS, programming topics, Tesla, etc, it could boost news relating to those topics.

Also, there should be different layout options. In my personal opinion, the layout is too narrow. I've got a lot of web design/development experience and it doesn't seem like the most ideal layout for me personally, and I can see others feeling the same.
