DreamerLamashtu's Experience
For me mainly used as a launcher. Works well. At the same time this tool has a lot of features to offer if you want to do more complex workflows. The url to the product homepage is: https://www.alfredapp.com/

Pagehop and/or one or more of its components crashes repeatedly.
Pagehop includes a version of phantomjs, "a headless WebKit scriptable with a JavaScript API", which crashes every time it (phantomjs) gets started. Pagehop installation includes creating a service named "pagehop-service" which also may be part of the problem.

Unlimited, free, fully-functional evaluation
Like the SublimeText editor, Pagehop doesn't lock any features before you purchase a license and only displays (a tiny bit annoying) registration message.

Keyboard shortcut access to Hacker News
To be able to bring up todays news on a key shortcut, is absolutely awesome. Holding shift while pressing enter (choosing) on results, will keep the window open - this way you can open several pages you want to read through with your morning coffee.

Browsing of online documentation (any static web source)

All recipes and tools are open source and you can write your own (JavaScript)

Web search (horizontal and vertical) and using tools like Regular Expressions on results
Pagehop is bundled-up with recipes for Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo (horizontal) search, and with recipes for Wikipedia, StackOverflow, YouTube, jQuery API documentation, Mozilla Developer Network and others for vertical search. After making a search you can further filter your results with tools - Regular Expressions, Fuzzy Matching or Search in the urls (instead of titles).
