Kagi search is great and totally worth the $10/mo (I pay for Ultimate to get access to the assistant features but I'm not yet sure if they're worth it, though I'm happy to support the company).

Custom bangs alone are worth the price: I have them set up for LibGen, all my torrent sites, archive.ph, and their summarizer (which I recently discovered is !sum by default, no need for a custom bang).

But my favorite is a custom bang that points back at localhost (via Tailscale hostname so its available on mobile too) running a custom terminal emulator web app. Just using the bang alone opens a new terminal tab in the browser but when using it in combination with a URL allows writing commands like "curl [...url...] | ~/scripts/crawl.sh"

Would you share a bit more about how you have your custom bangs setup? I'm always curious to see the life hacks people implement that speed up workflow processes.
