Cool. Where is the line skipper link for Hacker News users to see your comments?

This has to be among the least informative landing pages I've seen yet. Vague marketing woo, giant hero images, scroll hijacking, sound effects, and zero screenshots.
They literally have a sliding section taking up significant scroll height that's dedicated to our solar system, and when I clicked one of the planets, expecting it to maybe reveal a usage example—I did actually get a full spiel about Mars, still with no hint of the product.

It seems like they just took a template and forgot to remove that part. It doesn't make any sense

Seems like they should focus on creating a reason that I would need their search instead of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok etc. Already dropped the 20$/month subscription; not sure why I’d need it.

Citations! Perplexity does the best job with references.
Also labs seems superior to artifacts / canvas because it incorporates research in advance of building apps, enabling it to gather data for the app and check docs

Anyone know how they are building this? Is it a fork of chromium?

"We wanna get data, even outside the app to better understand you," [...] "What are the things you’re buying, which hotels are you going [to], which restaurants are you going to, what are you spending time browsing, tells us so much more about you."
Good luck with that. Chrome on steroids.

Quote is from perplexity's CEO in case it isn’t obvious.
