External deeplinks https redirect

[mrdrprofuroboros]

Problem

Right now when you want to share a page within AnyType with your colleague, you can go to ... and use Copy Link

This gives you a deep link that looks like

anytype://object?objectId=<...>&spaceId=<...>

Unfortunately in most messengers this kind of custom deep links are not supported and don't get automatically highlighted, which makes it pretty annoying to manually copy and paste it to browser! (not even AnyType) to open

Proposal

What if you host a simple https redirect service?

• once a user clicks "Copy Link" it generates an https link to the redirect service, say https://link.anytype.io?objectId=<...>&spaceId=<...>
• when you follow this link it just returns a deeplink redirect, the old anytype://object?objectId=<...>&spaceId=<...>
• user goes to anytype
• messengers highlight the link as usual, no fiddling
• Optional: for a self-hosted any-sync add the ability to redirect from it rather than anytype.io
