ekacnet / lunnybol

My implementation of Facebook's Bunnylol

Rithik lunnybol

While I was at Facebook, I heavily used the internally developed tool lunnybol. I found several other versions of lunnybol that required me to host a server. This version of lunnybol does not need to be hosted on a server.

Currently, this is hosted on https://rithik.me/lunnybol. However, you can host it on any website that you would like (even on GitHub Pages). Since this is going to be your primary search engine for every new tab you open, I would suggest that you don't host it somewhere that may take a while to spin up the static page (like Heroku where your VM could go to sleep).

A note: a lot of these commands are customized for me. It is probably most beneficial for you to fork this repo and add/remove commands so that it is optimized for commands you actually need.

Setup

Firefox

1. Right click in the address bar you should see something like Add "search LunnyBOL".

2. Click on it.

3. Go in the settings (Menu edit and then at the bottom settings).

4. Click on Search in the left hand menu.

5. In the search shortcut list, find LunnyBOL.

6. Double click and enter a shortcut for instance lol.

Chrome

1. Open Chrome and click the three dots. Click Settings and scroll down to Search Engines.

2. Click Manage Search Engines.

3. Add a new search engine with the URL being https://ekacnet.github.io/lunnybol?search=%s. Of course, you should change the rithik.me part to your own domain.

4. Make this the default search engine.

Safari

Don't hurt yourself and pick something else seriously. But if you really want to you need an app like AlfredApp and configure a search with the value https://ekacnet.github.io/lunnybol?search={search} and a prefix of your liking like lol.

Adding a command

1. Run npm install so that build.sh (JavaScript type checker) can run.

2. Open up the src/commands.js file. Add your command to the COMMANDS object. You must include a name and url attribute and you can add an additional searchurl attribute if you would to be able to type a command like yt NBA Highlights (in which case, lunnybol will automatically search for NBA Highlights on YouTube).

3. Run build.sh one more time to build the minimized file.

4. Publish to your website or run locally: ./run.sh

Running locally

The easiest way is to do:

docker build . -t lunnybol
docker run --rm -d -p 3000:3000 lunnybol

Since we use import module syntax, we need to run a server to bypass CORS issues. You can setup the server by running npm install then build.sh, followed by node server.js. The server should be up and visible at localhost:3000.
