Show HN: I built a quick way to send links from desktop to mobile
openthisurl.comWhenever 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.
thanks. will try this out. I've been using discord to send urls between mobile and desktop.
Cool 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.
Thank 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.
Nice. Now we just need a way to share links from mobile to desktop and we have made a full circle!
Thanks.
I like it. Friction a bit higher than the method I use now: Telegram Saved Messages. But still cool, thanks for sharing.
