Uruky adds image search, URL rewrites

Uruky, an EU-based private search engine, has added image search and URL rewrites while planning a transition to a source-available PolyForm Shield license. The project also introduced a proof-of-work captcha trial and passed 100 monthly active accounts.

// ANALYSIS

Distributing source code under a non-compete license is a compelling hook for privacy-focused power users, but policing unauthorized redistributions will be near impossible.

* The addition of image search and URL rewrites addresses critical parity gaps with mainstream private search competitors like Kagi.

* Transitioning from NDAs to a PolyForm Shield license lowers user friction for source access while exposing the creators to copycats.

* Using a proof-of-work captcha for trial sign-ups is an elegant, privacy-preserving anti-abuse mechanism that avoids credit card walls.
