Show HN: I built a quick way to send links from desktop to mobile
- ramkarthikk 6y agoWhenever I'm browsing something that I want to send to my mobile, I send it via WhatsApp web or some hard way. I wanted a way to quickly send links to my mobile. Since we can scan QR code to open URLs, I create a page that takes a URL input and generates a QR code. And then I created a JavaScript snippet that I could add to bookmarks, so I can click that when I'm on a web page and let the bookmarklet create a QR code. This is a super simple app and can be built with a couple of lines of code. But I thought this might be useful for people who do not have the time to build it for themselves.
- nirav72 6y agothanks. will try this out. I've been using discord to send urls between mobile and desktop.
- Bakary 6y agoCool project. For this I usually use a text file on dropbox and the send tab function in Firefox (which has the annoying aspect of needing me to sync manually to see it on mobile). This seems like a better option.
- ramkarthikk 6y agoThank you. I used to use WhatsApp at first, then I started using Notion. But anything I tried always required me to do more than a few clicks.
- llagerlof 6y agoNice. Now we just need a way to share links from mobile to desktop and we have made a full circle! Thanks.
- dmje 6y agoI like it. Friction a bit higher than the method I use now: Telegram Saved Messages. But still cool, thanks for sharing.
