Ask HN: Can Wiby.org Be Saved?

Wiby.org says it's closing because of server costs. Does anyone know any more about this? It would suck to lose it.

Recently I've seen multiple people mention wiby.org as a search engine replacement for the "slow web". I've been using it as my homepage, and it's really nice: Every time I do a "surprise me" I end up happier than when I started, and I've found so many great rabbit holes to explore!

Now it is showing the message "Unfortunately this proxy service will be ending soon as I cannot afford to run it. I apologize for the inconvenience caused to those who regularly used it."

There's a button to donate, but I'm not sure if it's too late now they've announced the end. Does anyone know more about the site or the owner, and if it can be saved?
