New: User Settings via Self-Hosted File

Until now, to use Trovu with advanced settings and personal shortcuts, you needed a Github account. Now, these features are accessible with a self-hosted file, which can remain private if hosted under a non-public URL.

To do this, create a file following the config.yml syntax. The new feature allows you to create shortcuts directly within the config file:

language: en
country: us
namespaces:
    - o
    - en
    - .us
    - name: my
      shortcuts:
          examplekeyword 0:
              url: https://example.com/
          examplekeyword 1:
              url: https://example.com/?q=<param1>

Host this file anywhere your browser can access it. This could be a public URL, within an intranet, or on your localhost.

Then, open Trovu with:
