i-robot v1.0.0
i
Personal redirect server.
Use your URL bar for reaching frequent sites, faster. Largely inspired by corporate environments that set an aliasing/tinyURL service up at http://go/. This one is for your personal use.
My workflow with this:
- Type
i write
in the URL bar - :boom: redirected to my worklog
Or
- Type
i review
- :tada: redirected to https://github.com/notifications
You can live like this too. It's like a console for your browsing.
Installation
Clone this repository, cd
to the cloned directory, and install this package.
git clone https://github.com/rgbkrk/i
cd i
npm i
Configuration
Create an i.json
like so:
{
"code": "https://github.com/rgbkrk",
"write": "https://docs.google.com/document/d/somedocid/edit"
}
Now run the server:
npm run start
Usage
Now visit one of your keywords, like http://i/code
. It should redirect.
If you visit http://i, you'll get a listing of all your keywords.
:boom:
Super mode
If you're using Chrome, you can set i
as a search engine so that you can type
i write
Right click your URL bar (Omnibar!):
and click "Edit Search Engines..."
From the search engines page, scroll to the bottom of the search engines section until you see a way to add a new search engine:
Within that section, fill it out with i
as the search engine and keyword, followed by http://i/%s
as the URL:
:tada: You can now type i rock
