>Brilliant, especially the redirect handling.
That was what got me to click the install button just now. And he used my least favorite example, Instagram out of Twitter with the t.co redirects and yada yada—I've always felt like that was super awkward.
- chris_lacy 13y agoThis, as well as staring a Chrome waiting anywhere up to 5 seconds or more for t.co links to resolve is what largely inspired me to write Link Bubble.
- lern_too_spel 13y agoI've wondered why the Twitter app doesn't automatically replace t.co links with the final destination URL itself.
- chris_lacy 13y agoI assume because they use the t.co link to verify items have been clicked for their ad services, but I can't be sure. Either way, as I user I couldn't stand that wasted time, so I went about trying to fix it.
- lern_too_spel 13y agoMy point is that the app can record that click asynchronously. They have full control of everything in the app, and it bothers me in the first world problems section of my brain that they haven't tackled a lot of low hanging fruit for speeding up user interactions.
