Hmm:

- Are variables allowed in the links?

- Can you set it as the default search engine for your browser so these can just be typed into the main search bar instead of going to the Zapmarks site each time?

Firefox's built in keywords already do great for this, and I have seen https://shortmarks.com/ for other browsers. What does your site offer that those do not? They are both free options.

Variables aren't supported in the links yet, but this is definitely on our radar! We focused on keyword functionality for launch, but the search would definitely be handy as well!

Yes, you can manually change your default search engine using this url. Substitute %s for whatever your query string variable is for your device/browser.

On Chrome, you can simply install our extension which allows you to type 'z {keyword}' to access your Zapmarks. Other native browser extensions are in the works as well.

We have a few benefits over the competitors, like Secret Access Links which allows you to use your Zapmarks on new browsers and devices without logging in.

Also, we are working hard on developing lots of other ways to integrate our product into other devices and platforms, like Alfred on the Mac.

Hope that answers your questions. Thanks!
