FOSS alternative to URL Forwarder? (lemmy.nowsci.com)

Hi all,

About to go full no-Google, but am missing one app alternative. This is URL Forwarder: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.daverix.urlforward

It allows users to share to it like a bookmarklet. Anyone know of something else that does this?

An example use case would be browsing in your Lemmy app and sharing the post URL to another webpage.

This comes to mind - I use it personally everyday and find it comes in handy for tasks like you've described above: https://github.com/TrianguloY/URLCheck

This is what I use and I almost forgot that I'm even using it until I saw this post.

Edit: It's on F-Droid but I don't know how to share the link directly to it on there.

Am I dumb or is there not a way to share a link directly from F-Droid?

I try the share button, but it tries to share the .apk file.

My share menu default to text with file based share as a secondary option.

I use Droid-ify F-Droid does that indeed. Droid-ify is an overall nicer client to acces different repositories.
