Hi HN!

Ever feel like traditional bangs (!commands) just aren't powerful or customizable enough? I built Fast Travel, a Bunnylol-inspired, command-based search engine replacement that you can host effortlessly on GitHub Pages. It's made for people who want even faster, simpler, and more personalized web navigation.

Here's what it looks like:

- `g kittens` instantly Googles "kittens". - `ddg privacy` searches DuckDuckGo for "privacy". - `r/technology` takes you straight to the r/technology subreddit. - `hn` brings you right here to Hacker News. - `apps balatro` finds "balatro" on Steam (desktop), Google Play (Android), or App Store (iOS). - `$AAPL` opens Apple's Yahoo Finance stock page.

Key Features:

- *Fully Configurable Commands:* Personalize, add, or remove commands easily. - *Ultra Lightweight & Fast:* Minimalistic static design for instant searches—perfect for GitHub Pages. - *Smart Device-Aware Routing:* Automatically adjusts your searches depending on your device. - *Built-in Typo Detection:* Auto-corrects mistyped commands.

Check out the code on GitHub (setup instructions included!): github.com/DoubleGremlin181/fast-travel Or try my config live here: fast-travel.kavishhukmani.me

Let me know what you think!

Thanks, and enjoy your fast travels!
