I noticed last week as I was working on show notes for Overtired #238 that SearchLink was returning raw search urls instead of the results I expected. I didn’t have time to look at it until this weekend, so I finished the show notes jumping back and forth between my editor and my web browser,…

I’ve published a few updates to SearchLink since we last talked, some bigger than others. Here’s a rundown of what’s new. URL Shortening First, I added more built-in URL shortening.

I hope you’ve had nice holidays! I’ve updated my Bitlyize service to work with v4 of the Bit.ly API. It parses the input for all URLs and replaces them with shortened links connected to your account. Not only can this make long links more readable, it gives you some analytics on how often the links…

It’s unseasonably warm for Christmas here in Minnesota. It’s 50° out. To mark the weird occasion, I created a quick plugin for SearchLink that lets you run a search like: !current 55987 And get: Weather for Winona, Minnesota on 2023-12-25 at 12:53 PM: 51.8 and Light rain The plugin only outputs ‘embed’ style, it won’t…
