I ended up just putting together my own bang provider (and stole the snaps feature from Kagi).

I use bangs a lot in duckduckgo but this is my first time seeing the snaps feature from kagi and I feel like it can be useful too so your website is definitely really cool to see!

Like till now If I wanted to search something on reddit from duckduckgo, I would search "<search query> reddit"

But it was also an hit or miss sometimes so you are telling me that snaps can just @r <search query> and guarantee its from that is amazing!

Your list of resources feel good too, https://time.fyi and other tools are good too!

I would love it if your resources also included open source resources similar perhaps as I prefer open source tools mostly but even these resources are good too so thanks!

I use a similar system but inside of Alfred mac app, and they open in default browser app which routes the open request to the most recent browsers I've used. Enables me to work between different browsers more easily.
Then why not steal the shortcode list from Kagi as well to have much more websites supported? Their bang list is open source
Given that my search router is completely client side, importing such a huge collection would be huge and slow things down considerably.
