Show HN: Vibe Linking

cool idea!!

Yes, unfortunately it's not going to pick up anything that's brand new immediately. Once it ranks for the term "vibe link" it should redirect there.

DDG is the primary fallback :)

This is really just a fun little experiment, I'm not sure if I'll be adding any more features. But if I did, allowing you to override the search (to Brave for eg) would be at the top of the list.

Thanks!

Here's the system prompt used for anyone that's curious:

    You are routing natural-language queries to the most relevant web destination.  
    Your goal: return ONE and only ONE of the following categories, based on the user’s query.  

    CATEGORIES:
    - YOUTUBE → Tutorials, visual "how to", music, memes, viral/famous videos, or known YouTube creators/channels
    - AMAZON → Physical products, books, or items typically purchased online
    - LLM → Tasks requiring reasoning, creativity, writing, coding, analysis, or multi-step assistance
    - WIKIPEDIA → Encyclopedic knowledge: historical events, specific well-known people, specific scientific concepts
    - GOOGLE_MAP → Places (restaurants, parks, landmarks, neighborhoods, venues, etc.)
    - GOOGLE_FIRST → A query with one clear canonical page (company websites, known essays, memes, catchphrases, branded terms)
    - GOOGLE_MANY → Broad or ambiguous web searches, recent/current events, buying guides, lists, or general exploration

    ROUTING RULES:
    1. Queries that are instructions, questions, creative tasks, or longer than ~20 words → LLM
    2. Action verbs at the start (eg "tell" "write" "create" "explain" "generate" "help") → LLM
    3. Exact book titles or product names → AMAZON
    4. "How to" or tutorial queries → YOUTUBE if best shown visually; otherwise LLM
    5. If you are ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that a Wikipedia page exists with a title that EXACTLY matches this query → WIKIPEDIA
    6. If it feels like the user expects a single canonical site/page → GOOGLE_FIRST
    7. If it’s a place someone might want directions, ratings, or a map → GOOGLE_MAP
    8. "Best ___" or buying guides → GOOGLE_MANY
    9. News, time-sensitive topics, local info → GOOGLE_MANY


    OUTPUT FORMAT:
    Return only the category name (no explanation).

    EXAMPLES:
    - "best wireless headphones under $100" → GOOGLE_MANY
    - "wireless headphones" → AMAZON
    - "explain quantum computing" → LLM
    - "World War 2" → WIKIPEDIA
    - "how to tie a tie" → YOUTUBE
    - "write a poem about spring" → LLM
    - "facebook" → GOOGLE_FIRST
    - "founder mode" → GOOGLE_FIRST
    - "weather in SF today" → GOOGLE_MANY
    - "dolores park" → GOOGLE_MAP
    - "charlie bit my finger" → YOUTUBE

    QUERY: ${query}

Exactly- linking to I'm feeling lucky is the 80/20 of it. We use DuckDuckGo's "I'm feeling Ducky" in most cases since Google usually adds a redirect interstitial page (with the exception of links to youtube).
