a.stro.cc (wormhole)

a.stro.cc (wormhole) is Vercel Edge Function that acts as a shortcut to the Astro Docs.

Usage

Just pass your query as the path, and you will be redirected to the most relevant page of the Astro Docs.

• a.stro.cc/vercel => https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/deploy/vercel/
• a.stro.cc/islands => https://docs.astro.build/en/concepts/islands/
• a.stro.cc/github%20pages => https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/deploy/github/
• a.stro.cc/fr/vercel => https://docs.astro.build/fr/guides/deploy/vercel/

Tip

Chrome

• Navigate to chrome://settings/searchEngines
• Under Site Search select Add.
• Fill in the Search Engine as Astro. The Shortcut can be astro or any alias you prefer!
• Set the URL to https://a.stro.cc/%s.
• Press Save.

Now, you can type astro in Chrome's address bar, followed by whatever topic you'd like to jump to in the Astro Docs.

Firefox

Firefox out of the box does not support adding a new search engine. However, there is an option to enable it. Here is how:

• Open a new tab and navigate to about:config
• In the search box, type browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh.
• At this point, the result list should be empty.
  • If it is empty, click the + button at the top right.
  • If the option already exists, set it to true by clicking the swap button on the right.
• Now navigate to about:preferences#search.
• Click on the Add button under the “Search Shortcuts” list.
• In the popup, set the engine URL to https://a.stro.cc/%s.
• Set the alias to astro, or anything you prefer!
• Press Add Engine.

Now you can type astro followed by your search term. It will redirect you into the Astro Docs!

🫡 Good luck out there, astronaut!
