A new-tab page [hosted](https://fuzzyho.me/) on github pages
|
|
|
|
|
that lets you fuzzy find links and quickly navigate to the top result.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
|
On Firefox, unfortunately you can't choose a custom new-tab page,
|
|
|
|
|
so I opted to use [this addon](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-override)
|
|
|
|
|
and choose `https://fuzzyho.me/` as the custom url.

## Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Create
|
|
|
|
|
Create a new link by typing a name and a url separated by a space.
|
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
imba home page https://imba.io/
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
The last space-separated string will be used as the url for your link.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Search
|
|
|
|
|
Search your links by focusing the search bar and typing.
|
|
|
|
|
The fuzzy sorting algorithm makes searching very fast,
|
|
|
|
|
as you can usually just type the first letter of each word to get to a link (`ihp` to get to `imba home page`, for example).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Navigate
|
|
|
|
|
Navigate to the topmost search result by pretting `return`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

## FAQ

|

### Why Don't You Use A "Smarter" Algorithm Based On Frecency?
|
|
|
|
|
Having one result ranked highest when you expect
|
|
|
|
|
another can be really frustrating,
|
|
|
|
|
namely because you have to pay attention to the results
|
|
|
|
|
instead of just typing the same thing to get the same result
|
|
|
|
|
every single time and pressing enter without thinking about it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's the solution then? Just rename your links accordingly.
|
|
|
|
|
This way, it's **your** choice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, I have one link named `mpv` which I've accessed `7` times,
|
|
|
|
|
and one link named `messenger` which I've accessed `106` times.
|
|
|
|
|
Under conventional wisdom, typing the query `m` should show
|
|
|
|
|
`messenger` at the top of the results because I access it way more
|
|
|
|
|
often, so it's probably what I want, right?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
No. Instead, I should just rename `mpv` to something else,
|
|
|
|
|
such as `_mpv`. Now, typing `m` results in `messenger` showing up first,
|
|
|
|
|
and typing `mp` results in `mpv` showing up first.
|
|
|
|
|
This is what will happen **every single time**.
|
|
|
|
|
It doesn't matter what time of day it is,
|
|
|
|
|
how many times I accessed some other link recently,
|
|
|
|
|
or any other variable;
|
|
|
|
|
I type `m`, press enter, and that's it.
