Show HN: routr - a fast local replacement for DuckDuckGo bangs

https://t128n.github.io/routr/
2•trbndev•1y ago

routr is a lightweight, offline search router inspired by DuckDuckGo's bangs. It's fully browser-based (no server requests needed other than the initial one) and routes queries like `!gh tokio` to GitHub, `!yt` to YouTube, `!hn` to Hacker News, etc.

What sets it apart:

- Runs entirely locally (no network, no tracking)

- Lets you define your own bangs and destinations

- Optionally rewrites queries for better precision (with AI)

Example:

Typing `article about german war in the stone age !!g` becomes: `site:en.wikipedia.org "german" AND "war" AND "stone age"`

More on query rewriting and performance:

Ah damn what a bummer that I can‘t edit the original comment anymore. Thank you for pointing it out… didn‘t even see that extra `l` there in the url

> Typing `article about german war in the stone age !!g` becomes: `site:en.wikipedia.org "german" AND "war" AND "stone age"`

I wonder how much of that could be done without AI, just (locally) using https://www.npmjs.com/package/compromise

Also I couldn't find your source for bang data; Kagi maintains an updated list: https://github.com/kagisearch/bangs

I'm working on an enhanced version of bangs. Since there are so many "dead" bangs, I'm thinking of using a bang whitelist and suggestions from the full list if not found in the whitelist.

trbndev•1y ago
What an interesting library. Thanks for mentioning it here… will definitely look into it!

The bangs are at

https://github.com/t128n/routr/blob/main/src/sw/routes.ts

Mostly ripped from duckduckgo.com/bang.js and then pretty-formatted with Prettier… with some sane-defaults added like a bang for ChatGPT or T3 Chat

Leftium•1y ago
Related project (also works locally):

- https://unduck.link/

- https://github.com/t3dotgg/unduck

- https://youtu.be/_DnNzRaBWUU

Note unduck works without service workers: https://github.com/t3dotgg/unduck/blob/91a66c25de8b0e7ac5ba5...

Is there any advantage to using service workers?

edit: Ah... unduck doesn't work from the browser search bar.

trbndev•1y ago
Unduck actually also uses service workers to cache the app locally

> Is there any advantage to using service workers?

With service workers we can intercept the `fetch` request, before the index.html gets rendered/loaded. One should (in theory) be redirected some micro-seconds faster than doing the redirect in the index.html js
