You can't make this stuff up
Some of the .new urls are more useful than others, imo. I think the GitHub example feels thin to me, as creating a repo is a relatively infrequent action.
But I use docs.new and sheets.new daily, to throw together notes for a meeting, or because I want to model something - usually for scratchpad use cases. It’s the fastest way to get right into an editor, and then I decide later if I want to save it to someplace to organize it.
The problem with some of the journey-oriented flows like reservation.new is that it doesn’t give me a chance to enter any parameters, and so it saves me a touch of effort but I still have to go tweak the time and party size, etc.
Also, why can't we just have new.docs.google instead?
There should be a web API that lets you register typing-based shortcuts.
