I used DuckDuckGo a couple of years ago, but they added their own blacklist of sites (pretty stupid), and for my language it started returning crappy generated spam sites instead of relevant results. They shouted at the top of their lungs that for my language they simply index the results from Yandex, but this is a lie, they are different.
StartPage gave the best results, but they introduced a captcha that I got every damn request.
I'm currently using SearXNG, which collects results from Google. And these are damn normal results, unlike other search engines that consider themselves the smartest and edit the results.
I don't recommend reinventing the wheel if you want to gain REAL development skills. Development is really about achieving your goal using existing (and preferably popular) solutions.
It makes no sense to write any system-level projects from scratch in 2024 if projects with a similar purpose already exist. Try using them as a regular user. Maybe you will find features that you would like to fix or add.
This way we will have multiple sudo-tools on one system without the ability to remove all but one. Like now with all this crap like systemd-resolved, systemd-networkd, systemd-anothershitd and a bunch of tools that do the same thing, but are all required.
Used dark (not black) themes everywhere for 8 years. My eyesight is still good according to my annual physical, but recently I've noticed that I have a hard time reading text written on a dark background. It is slightly blurred, especially when there is no light in the room.
Somewhere I still use dark themes, but I always try to switch to light mode if things look okay with code highlighting or smth.
Just build the app on very old distros like Ubuntu 16.04 if possible. But in general, packaging should be handled by the maintainer. If you want to be both a developer and maintainer, packaging problems will take up 75% of your time.
It's not really hard for us users to follow your README and just copy the built binary to ~/.local/bin.
