RubNub == NerdyBliss #=> true
Last night at Gangplank I was sitting next to Remi and I saw him typing something like this in his address bar:
gith blackbox
After he hit enter and I saw github search results appear on his screen I asked exactly what black sect he belonged to.
He assured me that it was in fact not Satan's work but rather something called YubNub.
Somehow that was less helpful... at least at first. YubNub describes itself as "a (social) command line for the web". Basically, people (including you) create commands that can be passed to YubNub and get parsed into useful actions.
For example you can type:
ls google
... and get a listing of all the commands that have to do with Google. And, It appears to do way more than that.
So that brings me to RubNub which is the mayonnaise in this sandwich of awesomeness.
RubNub is a Firefox plugin that passes your address bar input through YubNub. So, you basically end up with a command line in FF.
It's like having every search bar engine installed (including one's that don't exist) and it's much faster because you don't touch the mouse.
Definitely worth checking out.
