It's a little finnicky to set up, but I'm enjoying it so far. It goes beyond alternative frontend redirects. You can strip URL params, check domains against a blacklist, and choose native apps to open links that match a pattern.
- TheLongLife 1y agoI was very happy when I found about that app, It's very useful. It goes beyond just redirects, it's able to remove tracking elements from links, unshorten links, remember which app to use to open specific domains and more. You almost need an app like this on Android because of its shitty share menu.
- jasonvorhe 1y agoNice, I was looking around for something like this and found this Android app instead: https://codeberg.org/hermeticvm/linkahest https://codeberg.org/hermeticvm/linkahest I started using this last week and it's simple and useful. My main challenge was that I use YT/Reddit/X apps but I hate how the recipients I shared links to posts or videos with often couldn't access it without having to disable ad blockers or having to login first.
