Extract URLs from Text #7

Closed silas229 closed 2 months ago

When I share a tweet in the Twitter PWA, not only the link is shared but also the content:

Corbin Davenport (@corbindavenport) Tweeted: Check out my podcast @TechTalesShow, where me and a guest talk about wild stories in technology history, from early computers to mobile games.

Unfortunately, when I then select the Link Cleaner, it does not work.

My idea: Either URLs should be extracted from the content or the text should be kept and the links replaced with clean links in it.

The best would be a selection in the PWA, where the user can choose one of these options

This could actually plug into #4, I think. Once bulk link processing is implemented, Link Cleaner could just pass all links from the incoming text without any prompts or anything.

I can't follow the code in #8 completely because I am not aware of the full codebase, but it seems to extract/filter at least the URL

Closing this because fixing Twitter/X behaviors isn't a priority, and I'm not aware of this happening with another Android application. If this is reported again with another app I'll look into it.
