@tchambers@indieweb.social @julian@community.nodebb.org You're absolutely right about the mobile browsers sadly, but support on mobile apps is good. The UX there is better than it is on desktop browsers too, because it can be registered in the app manifest and doesn't require complicated approval and handler selection flows. People are also more familiar with links that look a certain way opening in their related app, it's just that they expect the behavior at the host level instead of the protocol level.

@tchambers @julian @silverpill I put together a prototype, using web+ap.

Here’s a video demo - https://peertube.wtf/w/r8M4KpS6yLd9H2r2oPAs9M

The workflow is a wee bit clunky, with the browser popping up things more than I'd like, but it works.
