Took a little while to setup and get used to, but once you're away it's great, being able to type go keywork makes things so quick. ctrl+t go x, ctrl+t go y, ctrl+t z and I've got everything I need for my web dev setup there and open. People may think "ah yeah but it's a bit lazy" but it's really not, yeah it may take 5 less keystrokes to type go gh, than github.com but over time those 5 keystrokes really add up. Definitely worth the time to setup and get used to, would be weird going on without it now!

I was a bit skeptical of Gurn when I first heard about it; I already had bookmarks, etc. But then it clicked and now I'm a complete convert. With Gurn I'm just in the flow. I can just get to where I want with minimum effort. It feels like the browser is hard-wired into my brain and reading my memory for me. And that I can share it across my team is fantastic.

Has changed the way I work. I can now fire up significant workflows with a couple key strokes. Absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to save time and reduce stress!!
