I've tried sending a mail to hello@jumprope.ai to apply for the firefox beta, but it gave an error saying "the address couldn't be found, or is unable to receive mail".
In any case, good luck! This seems like something I'd want to use!
There is duckduckgo bangs which has over 13000 custom site searches [1]. Also, you can write your own complex regex based replacements using Redirector [2] - the potentials are infinite!
Hey y'all, I built this after working at Facebook and using the much-loved internal tool called bunnylol. You could do things like looking up users with commands like "id 124124512" to pull up a specific fb account.
Would love for you to try it out and give feedback!
In any browser, setting DuckDuckGo as your default search engine can give you the first four search examples featured in the home page banner for jumprope.ai:
!fb elise d
!drive resume
!github APIClient
!zoom.us standup
facebook has something like this internally (bunnylol), everyone's browser uses an internal search engine by default that parses the query into commands that can take args and often route to internal tools, etc it's pretty neat, the open source version is called bunny1
It's not super obvious, but chrome and Edge already support a sort of keyword lookup for history entries. IE I type "github repo pulls" and the top suggestion is for "github.com/company/repo/pulls".
Great idea! This looks really handy. I just tried installing it but when I try to click "add command" or "see command" it just redirects to the home page.
I love this idea, I would use this every day if it was native to my Android and Desktop Chrome, does the extension read/send any of my data anywhere? (Incl. Usage)
oh god this sends every query to some third party server. hard no. just run a local server and allow configuration that way.
Hello there. Your about page returns a 404.
Why is it controlling the "On startup" settings? I can't use it because of that.
reminds me of autojump on the command line, I bet this can be immensely useful if it didn't rely only on searching and bookmarking, e.g. "jira create 'user auth setup'" (this would create a ticket in jira with that title)
About page is not found
Looks neat, and similar to ddg's bang searches. I set ddg as my default search engine, and use it similarly, `!tw Joe Biden` in my Firefox search bar to search for tweets about Joe Biden and the like.
you can literally just do this with bookmarks and '%s' - for example set the bookmark destination to https://www.google.com/search?q=%s and set the bookmark's keyword to 'google'.
you can now trigger a google search by typing "google [search term here]"
...after typing all this out i realize google is a redundant example but you get the idea
Cheers! This has been a great productivity booster. I can search my django admin instantly and with ease.
For the search use case, I use Firefox search keywords [1]. It avoids a useless redirection through duckduckgo ; I use duckduckgo bangs when I don't have a keyword configured.
You can even add search keywords by right clicking on a search field -> "Add a keyword for this search". It works on intranets and internal knowledge bases too.
