Nice, @a7mads. Scribe and BeamApp are a few apps for sharing links between devices.
I like your "no software" approach. Are you planning to create a bookmarklet or Chrome extension?
Hello,
I built leash.co because I wanted a truly simple way to transfer URLs between device, no setup or sign up required.
Feedback is always welcomed!
@_jacksmith like @jasondainter said, chrome works great, it just you have to have chrome installed and you must be logged in.
I can't have chrome installed on my work PC, so I used to email myself links all the time.
@a7mads thanks for this. I often get annoyed at how hard it is to simply share a link very quickly across devices so think this does add value.
I use http://www.handoffapp.com/ for this at the moment but there is too much legwork involved ensuring the receiving device has it installed.
Chrome works well with its shared link/visited history over time but its not incredible fast at syncing, and also limits you to chrome only (what if you want to transfer a link to your friends phone for example easily).
I often find myself 'hipchatting' myself or emailing myself to get around this nuisance, so will certainly be trying leash out next time!
