Just as a quick usability feedback: As long as Deepl translates asynchronously as I type, while Kagi requires a full form send & page refresh, I am not inclined to switch (translation quality is also already too good for my language pairs to consider switching for minor improvements, but the usability/ speed is the real feature here).
This is coming from a user with existing Kagi Ultimate subscription, so I'm generally very open to adopt another tool if it fits my needs).
Slightly offtopic, slight related: As already mentioned the last time Kagi hit the HN front page when I saw it: the best improvement I could envision for kagi is improved search performance (page speed). I still encounter multiple second page loads far too frequently that I didn't notice with other search engines.
Interesting, I'm actually annoyed that DeepL sends every keystroke and I'm using idk how many resources on their end when I'm just interested in the result at the end and for DeepL to receive the final version I want to share with them
That it's fast, you don't have to wait much between finishing typing and the result being ready, that's great and probably better than any form system is likely to be. But if it could be a simple enter press and then async loading the result, that sounds great to me
