Software to be added

Websurfx 🚀 An open source alternative to Searx which provides a modern-looking, lightning-fast, privacy respecting, secure metasearch engine.

A few things to note:

• Websurfx source code is hosted on GitHub

• Websurfx uses JavaScript, which we are planning to eliminate with help of feature based compilation feature provided by rust. Also, by migrating to rust based web framework called leptos. Which will look something like this:

• Default: It will use wasm and js with csr and ssr.

• Harderned: It will use ssr only with some js

• Harderned-with-no-scripts: It will use ssr only with no js at all.

This looks awesome! I'm trying it out now :)

I noticed the docs say it's still in in the testing phase, and not ready for production use. Maybe it would be worth waiting until it's stable before including here? Or at least MVP feature complete, with a Docker container.

Thanks ❤️ for trying it out. I really appreciate it 👍 .

No, actually the thing is the project has become stabilized, and we are about to get the first release done by September 30th or even earlier, just a few things remaining to be done. So we are already planning to update the Readme of our project at the end of the first release. Also, I have read the contributing guidelines a few times prior to submitting the issue to make sure I don't miss anything there. So keeping the guidelines in mind, I submitted the PR because I know this project doesn't need unstable or unfinished projects being listed in the readme. 🙂

Also, for the docker deployment part 🙂 . I would suggest taking a look at this section of our docs, we have this covered there:

@Lissy93 can you please take a look at this issue. It has been nearly a week. So I would suggest having it worked on if possible 🙂 .

Also, just as a side note, I don't like pinging others, but I thought I should remind you. Sometimes people tend to forget because of life and other things like having too many notifications too work on, etc. so I thought I give you a soft reminder. I hope you will not take it negatively 🙂 .

Let's wait until you've got the first stable release published :)

@Lissy93 I have just released the first stable release. So I would suggest having another look at our project and having this PR worked on and merged. 🙂

Also, here is the changelog of the new release:
