Who doesn’t like shortcuts that make your work simpler and hassle-free? Recently everyone must have come across the .new domain exclusively for shortcuts. Let’s dive into it to see what all we can do with this new domain.

.new links are shortcuts to your favorite actions on the websites you love. Posting, linking, designing, recording — it’s all possible with action-based .new links. Replace menus and long URLs with easy-to-remember shortcuts.

Forget those days when we used to open GitHub and then create a new repository, today we can just use the repo.new shortcut. Open new GitHub gists with the gist.new. Want to create a google meet instantly, no need to go to the calendar just type meet.new and you are ready to begin meeting. By the way, there’s cal.new to create and send a new Google Calendar invite. Start your discord community by the shortcut discord.new. For the music lovers out there, create your Spotify playlist by using the playlist.new shortcut. I began writing this medium article by typing medium.new, you can also use story.new.

There’s a huge collection of shortcuts for coders like me too. Codesandbox has various of them, including js.new, ts.new, ng.new, react.new, vue.new and I hope you might have guessed their objective too. Codepen has a pen.new to instantly start prototyping a frontend component.

How can I forget google, the mind behind the .new initiative? It’s very own shortcuts include docs.new, slides.new, sheets.new, form.new, keep.new and many more.

These are some of the shortcuts that I use daily. These shortcuts make work much more fun and enjoyable. The list of .new shortcuts is not finished yet, you can find more at whats.new.
