That's a neat project.
You can be proud of your work π
But I for one won't donate to your cause, as the software seems to be closed-source, and I already have DuckDuckGo & Google for my searching needs.
I genuinely believe that the only viable niches for new search engines are environmentally-friendly (e.g. Ecosia) or open-source.
Literally no one will pay for a closed-source search engine.
But I like your tech stack, and your project's looking good.
One more thing: You claim to be against censorship; how will you combat spam & SEO farming?
