Reminder that I made quickinfo.io where you can quickly look up answers to certain classes of questions instead of googling and wading through bad results full of ads and spam.

Many people still google em dash, shrug, degree sign, etc. They open a website from results, it is slow and full of ads. It shows a cookie banner. There is a better way.

@KirillOsenkov This is really cool. Doesn't pull up all things I would expect for some searches, so a button to provide feedback, or suggest a more authoritative data source would be useful. E.g. I put in UK Airport and only half a dozen came up.
I can see this being really useful as a compact offline tool you could update periodically.
