DuckDuckGo friends,

Hope your summer is going well! When our new version launched a couple of months ago, our "goodies page" that listed all of our hundreds of instant answers was left behind. However, it is coming back and will be better than ever! You can read more about the plans at https://duck.co/blog/goodies-page-replacement.

Of course, you can also help us make instant answers. If you are a developer, check out our DuckDuckHack dev list that recently crossed 1,000 subscribers. And for everyone, you can discuss instant answer ideas at https://duck.co/ideas.

Did you know that we also run an anonymous chat (XMPP) server? Recently we upgraded its encryption to require encryption for all server-to-server connections. You can read about that change at https://duck.co/blog/xmpp-s2s and read about how to use it in general at https://duck.co/blog/using-pidgin-with-xmpp-jabber.

Happy Searching!

The DuckDuckGo staff
