fjump.to

This is a simple tool I build over a weekend and I use it regularly since. I hope it gets more attention now (this is the second time I'm posting it here).

# Motivation

The idea behind it is quite simple.

Chrome offers a quick way to search websites, for example, by typing "you" and hitting Tab Chrome offers to search YouTube (assuming you've visited YouTube before).

fjump.to utilizes this behavior and offers a quick way to navigate to web pages.

# Usage

Go to fjump.to, create a command by:

a. choosing a trigger, "jira" for example

b. assigning a URL for that trigger, https://my-company-jira.atlassian.net/jira/software/projects...

Now, you can type fj, hit Tab, type jira and Enter.

fjump's index.html will load, it will execute a short script that looks for the command trigger within your local storage, if it finds one it will redirect you to that command's URL, otherwise, it will offer you to fuzzy search other, similar commands you've defined.

Hope you find it useful.
