I'm curious if this is any better than a well designed custom landing page, which could even be set as the new tab in a browser. Everyone is already familiar with links and webpages yet using the navbar in this way is pretty rare, the only other case I can think of is duckduckgo's bang feature[0].

Hey, I'm one of the engineers building Gurn. We've actually thought a lot about this, almost creating a personal home page for your browser which could be a starting place for navigating to common groups of urls etc. We're still figuring out how this might work and how it could fit into the product at the moment but stay tuned!
