Show HN: Bangs – DuckDuckGo-style search shortcuts for Safari

metahost — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 13:19:26 +0000

I missed DDG style bang! shortcuts but didn't want to switch search engines or use a redirect server. Built this to handle it locally in Safari. It's private (no tracking), works with any search engine that Safari supports, and lets you make custom shortcuts.

Do you happen to have any additional block lists populated apart from the default ones by uBO? -- I also have the same setup but it works for me.

Primarily built this to learn how NextJS works and also a bit about Tailwind CSS. Also has request caching using the WebCache API + expiration which is quite a hacky implementation.

Let me know what you think!

From anecdata it seems that GPay is ubiquitous. The distribution may vary wildly regionally though.
