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!

Hey, congrats on launching this. Worked like a charm and overall looks really polished. I'd be interesting in using this but if I understand correctly this works by replacing the search functionality which means all my searches go to jumprope. I am not sure if there is a way around this in chrome but for me it's a deal breaker.

  thanks for the feedback! we don't save searches, but I see the concern and we may release an update where your jumps are stored locally in browser storage and only routed through Jumprope if its in the local jump list

Thanks for this. I appreciate this type of product and will likely use it. Right now I'm not able to because it doesn't seem to be playing well with Brave. Clicking add command takes me to the homepage. No add command functionality is surfaced. One question I have is why is this preferable to creating these commands using the browser search engine integration directly? They support keyword prefixes. They support a command line like pass through structure.

  i think this problem happens on brave because there is no user account and it needs to have an email to create the account. there are a couple benefits to building it this way, for example sharing commands across an organization is now possible (so for example you can create a command and make it available to your company to use.) for example, we use it at my company AirGarage to search django admin, open company zoom links, open reports, etc and if one person adds a command everyone can use it

Looks useful but memorizing commands can be challenging. I'm guessing there's something in mind for this... What is the AI aspect of it? (assuming based on the URL)

  to be honest there is no AI yet - the vision is to have predictive suggestions, automatically open the first result on the page if beyond a certain confidence threshold, etc! and yes, I do agree memorization is hard with more than a few commands. I am trying to solve it by adding jumps to the search suggestions, so when you type things like drive.google a search suggestion will say "tip, use gd to open or search google drive"

I made that tool originally! This looks much more modern and polished. Excited to try this.
