Sniffing meta data on browser #128

Open mrpaulmason opened 6 years ago

mrpaulmason commented 6 years ago

what meta data easily sniffable when a user clicks on a SURL? device, OS, browser vs desktop, country, etc

We may want to use meta data to route the user to a different flow, not send vCard to Android, etc:

Tap to Compose not supported on Desktop Tapping the button for Shortstop produces a javascript: void(0); error and not surprisingly, doesn't open up Messages at least on macOS High Sierra this is NOT really worth solving for Shortstop but does bring up the question - can we sniff desktop vs mobile browser @jmaj ? or maybe we get it from sniffing OS: macOS vs iOS ? is the same true for Windows and Linux?

Ideally we'd send desktop browsers to a different flow but I don't know if our current Stereo infra #124 can handle that?

I am able to detect whether it's iOS and Android. I can add the OS to the API call so we know not to send the vCard for Android users. Can we add something like that in?

great. can you paste in the detail here of what you're able to sniff, I think its called the user agent?
