Most people don't use that directly, though. Most contribute an instant answer to either the "spice" (external api, like recipes) or "goodies" (self-contained functions) repos, https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-spice and https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-goodies. What motivates someone to contribute to DuckDuckGo? It's fun, useful, and your work can potentially be shown at the top of the search results page for millions of people. disclaimer: I work for DuckDuckGo.

https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-goodies and https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-spice I agree that there should be a link on duckduckhack (or, if there is, it needs to be more prominent and I couldn't find it too).

Making the !bangs more explorable is definitely partner to making them generally more visible. Someone had suggested an instant answer that would actually fix this: https://duck.co/ideas/idea/832/where-goes-that-bang and someone started working on it recently: https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-spice/pull/546 We plan to overhaul the !bangs page when we get a moment and something that's already in place is a categorization system: https://duckduckgo.com/bang.html i.e. they're arranged by type! So someone could, for example, modifying the upcoming instant answer to show all the available !bangs and their associated domains by searching for "image !bangs" (which would show all the available !bangs under the "image" category) or !blogs, etc. Is that more of what you mean?

As long as it doesn't supposedly conflict with their core values[0]… because you know your search engine should censor such things that don't conform to your world view ;) [0]https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-spice/pull/100
