I built this because I missed the address shortcut tools you get at the big tech cos. I also wanted an excuse for a Rust project.
FAQ:
> Doesn't chrome already have this capability?
Chrome has a feature where you can configure custom search sites, but that implies that there's a query. Often, I just want to be able to type `m` and go to GMail, `c` and go to calendar, etc. Using Chromes functionality to do that feels clunky.
> Why not use JSON/YAML for the rules file?
I honestly just wanted something super simple, and I felt like using a txt file would limit my ability. Obviously I'm regretting this now because I want to do things like add "scripting" support where you could e.g. embed Dino and use that to execute JS that would run when you hit the shortcut, etc. etc.
