Huge shoutout to thesimplekid (npub1qjg…lgjw) for coming up with the idea and making it happen. I helped design the front end. Leaned heavily on Cursor AI. I generated some code and tried to make it work. Sometimes the code worked, sometimes it didn't. I just kept messing around until it eventually sort of worked. Learned a lot along the way. Coding is fun. Feels good to be able to contribute on this plane.

Presenting Athenut – privacy-preserving web search powered by Kagi and Cashu

Always wanted to use Kagi but thought it's a joke that a privacy search engine requires you to create an account and pay with a credit card? Athenut wraps around the Kagi API and lets you pay for searches with Bitcoin. Every individual search is paid for with ecash which means that you have no account and your payments can't be correlated to your searches.

In the background, Athenut has an entire Cashu wallet built in that is almost completely hidden from the user. All the user does is to pay a Lightning invoice and see how many searches they have left. It's made for grug brains who want to be free. You pay, you search, that's it.

This is simply amazing, I've been dreaming about this for so long. It's only the beginning. We're going to make Error 402 great again!
