REWQ is a browser add-on developed by navalnovel for Chrome users. This nerdy tool is designed to make opening long URLs more convenient for developers. It is specifically created for those who find themselves saving URLs in notes instead of bookmarks. REWQ allows users to create URL shortcuts on the website REWQ.app, which utilizes an offline local store for storing the shortcuts.

Once the shortcuts are set up, REWQ becomes a highly convenient way to open URLs with their respective shortcuts. To open a URL using its shortcut, users simply need to type or swipe the adjacent characters "REWQ" in the browser URL bar, followed by a space and the shortcut name configured on the REWQ.app website.

One of the standout features of REWQ is its lightweight nature, consisting of just around 10 lines of code. It runs in the background and takes up no space on the browser bar, only activating when the user enters the magic shortcut "REWQ" in the browser bar. Additionally, REWQ is open-source, with its code available on GitHub for transparency and community contribution.
