I would love for there to be a site that redirected eg. better.site/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzwMjOl8Iyo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzwMjOl8Iyo to https://invidious.site/watch?v=jzwMjOl8Iyo https://invidious.site/watch?v=jzwMjOl8Iyo so I could easily open YouTube links with Invidious, and the same for Twitter→Nitter, Instagram→bibliogram, Google Maps → OSM, etc without having to manually remove the beginning of the URL. I’d presume someone on HN has the skill to do this similarly to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24344127 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24344127
- kevincox 6y agoYou can make a "search engine" or bookmarklet that is a javascript/data URL that does whatever URL mangling you need. (Other than some minor escaping issues). Something like the following should work. You can add more logic to supoort all of the sites with the same script or make one per site. javascript:document.location="%s".replace(/^https:\/\/www.youtube.com/, "https://invidious.site" https://invidious.site")
