Moonjump

Moonjump is a server that redirects you to a random page harvested from are.na, Hacker News, or Marginalia Search.

Usage

Try it out: moonjump.app

There are a few ways to make shortcuts to moonjump

1. Add https://moonjump.app/jump to your bookmarks bar and use it to jump to a random page.
2. If you have OSX and Hammerspoon installed, you can map a shortcut to open moonjump in your default browser.
   • I have mine mapped to Cmd+Ctrl+J

hs.hotkey.bind({"cmd", "ctrl"}, "j", function()
	hs.execute("open 'https://moonjump.app/jump'")
end)

3. To launch from your shell, add the following to your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc file:

alias moonjump='open "https://moonjump.app/jump"'

• moonjump.app/arena serves from the are.na list
• moonjump.app/hn serves from the Hacker News list

Are.na

A dictionary of the channels that are currently being used can be found at the top of lib/arena.py

Note that since the are.na api is paginated, the dictionary of channels is weighted by the number of pages in the channel. Channels with the most pages are more likely to be selected.

Hacker News

Get served a random link from Top Stories, Best Stories, or New Stories. Additional parameters and configuration might be added in the future.
