I wrote the one for F5, in 2011 I believe. I didn't know specifically about Google's at the time, but the general concept was in the air. I was inspired by the old-schoool CompuServe (or was it AOL?) "go <keyword>" command. Bill Booth worked to get f5go open-sourced a few years after that [1].
And I'm glad you appreciated f5go's additional features; my personal favorite is the "lists" feature: a single go/ link can become a list of links very easily. Very useful for gathering research on a topic into a single place. I keep wanting to setup a personal f5go server so I can share short mnemonic links that might be lists lke this.

- mlindner 4y agoHello fellow former F5er! I was there from late 2016 through early 2021. I left as I wasn't a fan of how things were heading and I also found the general software hygine to be quite bad and I kept wanting to use more local static analysis as a normal part of development, which was difficult given the convoluted build process for the software. I worked on TMM.
