Score: 4.3/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 5, Documentation: 2, Utility: 4)

Flashbang is a lightweight tool that resolves DuckDuckGo bangs (search shortcuts) locally using a service worker, enabling faster and offline-capable searches. It's interesting for its clever use of service worker technology to replace a server-side feature with a client-side solution.

Target audience: backend devs, frontend devs
