I solved this by doing all of the work client side. Once you've went to https://s.dunkirk.sh once, the JS is all cache'd and will never need to be downloaded again. Your device does the redirects, not me or any other server.

How is this different from Theo's version again?#

This is primarily my personal fork to experiment with PWAs but I do have a few ideas that I would love to add to this.

Bangs
Dark Mode
Settings (for things like disabling search history and changing default bang)
Search counter
OpenSearch support
Search History (clearable, all local, and disabled by default ofc)
Fancy sounds (disabled if you have prefers-reduced-motion set; sounds only account for 201.3 KB of the 707 KB total size)
~~Search suggestions~~ (as far as I can tell this essentially impossible to do natively with either firefox or chrome; please correct me if I'm wrong though. In this case I would very much love to be wrong)

and then some more really ambitious stuff like:

NOTE

Umm yeah, I know I might not get to all of that and yes this is essentially me finally discovering PWAs and wanting to smash everything into one lol.

Omptimistic UI chat wrapper (basically t3.chat but entirely on your own machine and completely free and unlimited and oss)
Meta search engine as the default bang (so you can search Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc. all at once) this one is inspired by mat-1/metasearch2 but without the middleman server.

Fancy smancy technical graphs 😮#

The total size of the app is 707 KB (one time download)
