Brief

Keyword shortcuts for long urls from browser bar.

This is a fun half day experiment and hosted on https://rewq.app/.

Below are the ideas for improving the app. All ideas are for chrome-extension, unless the place says, web explicitly.

Ideas for improvements

Improve workflow

Fuzzy search in link opening

  • Perform a fuzzy search of all shortcuts
    1. Open an exact match
    1. Open a close match
    1. Show all possible matching options in /unsure

Open all links in a list (& other improvements)

Priority: ★★★ [p1]

Place: web

  • Add an open all button to a list page.

Other possible improvements to the page,

  • Remove a link from list
  • Add a link to the list

Perform regex on page

Priority: ★★★ [p1]

Place: chrome-extension

Enabled as soon as user enters,

REWQ<Tab>s/REGEX

We went for s/ because we want to use / for misc. commands.

Tools for links (esp. content)

Priority: ★★

Command:

rewq<T>*[name|url]

Finds the name or url in settings page and scrolls to it (and highlights it).

Do more with URLs

Priority: ★★

Command on chrome-ext:

rewq<T>+

Exquivalent command on browser bar:

rewq<T>+URL

Opens an /link?[URL]. In chrome-ext, it picks up the current window URL.

This screen has following options,

  • Make a shortcut or a list
  • Open with readablity library

Show all shortcuts and links

rewq<T>list

Save links on server

Priority: ★

Save links on server

Pack more power tools

More stretch ideas for links

And some stretch ideas... it would make sense to use external services, because REWQ is supposed to be a shortcut tool as much as possible.

-> send to kindle or -> make notes -> spaced repetaion service -> brain store -> twitter

Have commands on REWQ with /

Help

Priority: ★★

REWQ<TAB>/help NUMBER

A better help

Make a call

Priority: ★★

REWQ<TAB>/call NUMBER

Share links across devices

Priority: ★★

  • Like pushbullet, but no need for installation
REWQ<t>/push

A FIFO bookmarker

Priority: ★★

  • Save top 10 links in a short term bookmark memory
REWQ<t>/fifo

Ask Alexa rankings on web

Alexa rankings for a webpage.

REWQ<Tab>/webrank

Okay, so / becomes a command and we can now have commands like slack on /rewq.

In that case, how can we allow people to build their plugins so we don't have to create all commands. Just a thought...

Send a command to alexa

REWQ<TAB>/alexa COMMAND
