I'm looking for a search engine that prioritises or only returns results from high-quality/trusted sites and no AI generated slop.

Especially for medical questions it's a frustration to wade through AI-generated crap.

If such an engine doesn't exist, I'm keen to talk about how one would build such a search engine.

Or is the only solution to limit your searches to specific sites you trust?

Like many developers here, I've wrestled with the "build vs. buy" decision for various infrastructure pieces. Recently, I needed a license key system for a project. Looking at options like keygen.sh, I found the pricing models... well, let's just say they felt steep, especially for smaller projects or indie devs.

Driven by that frustration (and maybe a bit of NIH syndrome), I decided to roll my own: https://keymint.dev

It handles key generation, validation, and some basic management. It scratched my own itch, and frankly, building it was a fun challenge, touching on aspects seen in many HN discussions over the years – crypto security (Generating Cryptographically Secure License Keys), management (Ask HN: How do you manage license keys?), and the general complexities involved.

Now comes the ironic part. After sinking significant time into making it robust, I'm considering putting a price tag on it to support ongoing development and hosting. And suddenly, I feel like I'm becoming the very thing I initially reacted against.

Looking through past HN threads about license keys confirms this isn't a simple problem:

* There's a clear need (many "Ask HN" posts on how to manage/generate keys). * Security and avoiding cracked/forged keys is paramount (*Man charged for selling forged license keys*, *Pentester found Steam bug*). * Reliance on third-party services can be risky (*Tell HN: DigitalRiver/MyCommerce stopped paying vendors*). * Monetization itself is a recurring question for tool creators (*Ask HN: (How) Should I monetize this?*). So, before I go down the path of potentially becoming "another expensive licensing service," I wanted to put keymint.dev out to the HN community.

I'd genuinely appreciate it if some of you would be willing to kick the tires:

* Does it solve a real problem for you? * How does it compare (functionally, usability-wise) to other tools you've used or considered? * What features are missing? * And yes, eventually – what *would* feel like fair pricing, avoiding the "outrageous" levels that pushed me to build this in the first place? You can sign up and try it out at: https://keymint.dev

I'm here to answer questions and looking forward to any feedback – harsh or kind! I want to see if this thing I built actually provides value before figuring out how to sustain it without repeating the cycle I disliked.

Thanks!
