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.
I use Droid-ify F-Droid does that indeed. Droid-ify is an overall nicer client to acces different repositories.
My share menu default to text with file based share as a secondary option.
Yep. Use it every day. It's awesome.
Thank you! Just learned URL Forwarder is actually open source, but will take a look at this, too.
Hmm, am I missing something in the functionality?
I like that it sanitizes the URL, but I need something that will convert a share of, say:
http://this site
To open a URL of http://that.site?url=http://this.site
Is there a module that let's me do this?
I would need to know more details on your use case to say for certain, hard to know for sure without knowing the apps in question.
As another consideration, this guy's app is also available on F-droid, which means you can avoid updates via Play Store
Oh nice! I had looked for it and couldn't find it's source repo. Just assumed it wasn't FOSS.
