mdn.io

The "I'm feeling lucky" URL shortener.

Why?

The Mozilla Developer Network is an awesome JavaScript resource. When looking for JavaScript references on something like Function.apply, you might use a search engine with "apply site:developer.mozilla.org" and click the first result.

Use it in comments when explaining concepts

// Make sure add() takes a single argument (see https://mdn.io/Function.length)
expect(queue.add.length).to.equal(1);

As a lmgtfy replacement for JavaScript questions

friend: dude, is it call() or apply() that takes an array?

you: mdn.io/apply

Type directly in the address bar as a shortcut to search the MDN

mdn.io/bind

mdn.io/closure

mdn.io/cross origin sharing

How does it work?

mdn.io uses DuckDuckGo's Bang! functionality to redirect you to the first search result.

Note that, because this is a search, the page you're redirected to may change in the future. However, you can rest assured that you'll always be redirected to the page that DuckDuckGo finds most relevant.
