Hi everyone! I’m Giacomo, a CS student at the University of Pisa. 🇮🇹 I created QueryRouter because I was tired of being a "prisoner" of my browser's search settings. For years, I manually configured dozens of search shortcuts, but every time I switched browsers or moved to a new machine, I had to do it all over again. It was a tedious, repetitive process. I realized the problem was that my shortcuts were locked inside the browser. So, I built a way to decouple them. QueryRouter is a lightweight, local FastAPI server that acts as a single source of truth for your navigation. Instead of hardcoding shortcuts into your browser, you store them in one config.yaml file. Now, my browser has only one job: sending the query to my local server. The server handles the logic, the shortcuts, and the redirects. Why this approach works: 📂 Portability: Your setup lives in a folder, not in a browser's hidden settings. Move the folder, keep your shortcuts. 🛠️ Centralized Control: Edit one YAML file (or use the web dashboard) and the changes apply to every browser on your system instantly. ⚡ Zero Latency: Everything happens locally on your machine. 🌐 Browser Agnostic: Stop worrying about Safari's limitations or Chrome's UI changes. I built this to solve my own frustration with "setup overhead," and it has made my workflow much more consistent. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this "local-first" approach! Looking forward to your feedback! 🚀
