Major update for Linkahest, my privacy-first Android app that makes it a breeze to share links to platforms like X, Reddit, Youtube to alternative open frontends like Nitter, Redlib and Invidious:
All these services track their users, are bloated and naggy (sign in/register now, accept 1 trillion cookies, etc) so people came up with simpler alternatives that are open source, don’t track and are hosted by privacy-focused folks.
Unfortunately many of them use annoying AI blockers but they’re still better than the originals.
The app is now at version 0.5.1 with some major improvements:
* Material Design Expressive UI
* New icons
* Added toggle for fixed light/dark mode
* cleaned up main screen
* Improved performance
* support for Medium links (via Scribe)
* opt-in history of all links shared
* switched license to Apache 2.0
* update all dependencies, migrate to to gradle 9
The app is now live on Zapstore (npub10r8…t2p8)!
