You're facing Darth Vader, and she got turned off by that!? Definitely a red flag.

An AI-generated image of a medieval landscape mimicking the style of an oil painting. Squinting one's eyes reveals that the painting is subtly divided into four sections. Squint your eyes.

sorry for such a late response, I was on vacationYou can get in touch with the developer at https://matrix.to/#/#mwmbl:matrix.org

From the FAQ on Codeberg:

How do you pronounce "mwmbl"?

Like "mumble". The developer lives in Mumbles, which is spelt "Mwmbwls" in Welsh. But the intended meaning is "to mumble", as in "don't search, just mwmbl!"

I've admitted this in the original post:

Right now, the search quality is pretty rough, but that’s where you can make an impact:

  • Contribute to the Index:
    • Install the Firefox Extension: Once installed, it crawls the web on your behalf.

    • Run the CLI Script: An even better option would be to use your spare computing power by running the command line crawler.

Personally, I'm very excited for the project's potential. The quality isn't great, but the idea is promising. I remember back when Wikipedia was lacking, and only upheld by a handful of dedicated editors. Now, however, it is essentially the ultimate database of human knowledge.

Waiting in the shadow...

Must be an Android thing, then. They'll probably implement it on desktop in the future.


Also, like I said, the search quality is pretty rough; that's why we need more people to run the crawler extension and/or script. You can also suggest improvements on the Matrix server. Currently, it could use a lot of work.

Ultimately, I believe in the core principle. It's not great right now, but even Wikipedia started out like that. I remember back when Wikipedia was a barebones site lacking content, with a few dedicated editors. Now, however, it is essentially the knowledgebase of humanity.
