Introducing A New Chapter In Web Discovery

Kagi has launched mobile applications for iOS and Android to expand its “Small Web” initiative, a curated collection of non-commercial, human-authored websites. The feature is designed to surface independent content that is often less visible in mainstream search results.

Reviving The Authenticity Of The Early Web

The “Small Web” includes personal blogs, webcomics and independent video content created by individual authors. The initiative focuses on content that is not driven by advertising models or large platforms, at a time when AI-generated material is becoming more widespread.

From Browser To Mobile: Expanding The Ecosystem

First introduced in 2023, the feature has been expanded to include mobile apps, browser extensions and category-based filtering. The collection now covers more than 30,000 curated websites across formats such as blogs, videos, code repositories and comics. Users can browse content through filters or access features including reading mode and bookmarking.

Emulating Discovery Platforms Of The Past

The design of the Small Web website harkens back to early discovery platforms such as StumbleUpon. With a simple interface that presents users with a randomly selected site and a quick navigation option to proceed to the next, the platform aims to unveil parts of the web that might have been overlooked in today’s decision-saturated digital environment.

Critical Perspectives And Community Feedback

Feedback from developer communities has been mixed. Discussions on Hacker News highlight concerns that limiting inclusion to sites with RSS feeds may exclude certain types of content. Some users also questioned whether all listed sites are fully human-authored. Kagi allows users to submit suggestions through its GitHub page, indicating an ongoing curation process.

Outlook

The initiative reflects a broader shift in how users approach content discovery as AI-generated material increases. Kagi continues to position its product as an alternative search experience focused on curated and independent sources.

Cyprus Expects More French Visitors In 2027 As Air Capacity Expands

September 18, 2026

Cyprus expects more French visitors in 2027 as airlines increase capacity between the two countries, Tourism Deputy Minister Kostas Koumis said after meetings with tour operators in Paris.

France, one of Cyprus’ key tourism markets, has had a difficult 2026. French arrivals fell 46% year over year to 8,453 in August, from 15,663 a year earlier, according to the Statistical Service of Cyprus (Cystat). August arrivals were also nearly 50% below the 16,798 recorded in the same month of 2024.

Overall, Cyprus received 2.82 million tourist arrivals between January and August, down 7% from the same period in 2025.

Air Connectivity Supports 2027 Outlook

Koumis discussed the 2027 outlook with senior executives from tour operators offering Cyprus holidays during the IFTM Top Resa travel trade fair in Paris.

Higher air capacity between France and Cyprus was a key focus of the talks. Participants also discussed the impact of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East on the French market and Cyprus’ efforts to adapt its tourism offering to French travelers.

“The French market is undoubtedly an extremely important market for our country’s tourism,” Koumis said, adding that France had regained importance only a few years ago and still had room to grow.

Improved air connectivity will be an important factor in that expansion, according to Koumis. “It is now clear that air connectivity between France and Cyprus is improving significantly, which is a basic prerequisite for the further growth of the market,” he said.

Cyprus Promotes Tourism And Regional Cooperation

Koumis attended the opening of IFTM Top Resa at the invitation of French Tourism Minister Serge Papin, who later visited the Cyprus stand. Held from Sept. 15 to 17 at Paris Porte de Versailles, the event brought together more than 32,000 tourism professionals representing 177 destinations and 1,650 brands, according to organizers.

During his visit, Koumis also met Egyptian Tourism Minister Sherif Fathy. Cyprus and Egypt reaffirmed their tourism cooperation and discussed opportunities to strengthen ties further.

French media interviews covered Cyprus’ tourism offering, infrastructure and services, along with efforts to develop specialized tourism products. Regional instability weighed on arrivals in 2026, particularly during the spring, although the decline narrowed over the summer.
