And when you do need google, you can always just add `!g` to your search query. There are a bunch of other useful ones [0], my favorite is probably `!w` [0] https://duckduckgo.com/bangs. - Source: Hacker News / 26 days ago

Seriously, I'm surprised at how many devs haven't seen DuckDuckGo's bangs: https://duckduckgo.com/bangs I use them all the time for work. !mdn for MDN, !dnab for .NET, !npm for NPM, !py3 for Python3 docs, !debman for Debian Manpages, !w for Wikipedia, !a for Amazon, !g for Google when you really need it. I'm not affiliated with DDG; I just really, really love it. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

I think everyone in the thread knows about "search engines" in Chrome and bookmark keywords in Firefox. The crux of the issue is that there are more than 10,000 bang commands in DDG.

Being similarly frustrated with note taking apps lately (Android), I finally discovered one that's pretty amazing, so I'd like to mention it. It's called Zettel Notes [1]. It's all offline, with support for many syncing options, and the notes are simple markdown files stored in a directory. [1] - Source: Hacker News / 5 days ago

Hey HN, I co-created a simple iOS/Android app designed to help you securely gather important information in the form of notes, screenshots, and photos (e.g., life insurance, pension funds, bank accounts, information about your crypto - not necessarily leaving your passphrases here, but mentioning where you've hidden them - why not?) that significant others will need when you pass away. The app automatically passes... - Source: Hacker News / 10 days ago
