<p>Users who are invested into the iOS/Safari or Android/Chrome ecosystem may be used to features such as "handoff". These features allow users to send a URL from their computer to their phone and vice versa.</p>
|
|
<p>Unfortunately, these services use a "cloud" provider to send the URL. Nyxt offers a simpler, more private solution. Let's try it!</p>
|
|
<p>First, find a cool URL you would like to load on your phone. In this case we're looking at Baldwin Street in Dunedin New Zealand, the officially recognized steepest street in the world.</p>
|
|
<p><img src="../static/image/article/baldwin.png" /></p>
|
|
<p>Then, we execute <code>show-qrcode-of-current-url</code>.</p>
|
|
<p><img src="../static/image/article/qr-execute.png" /></p>
|
|
<p>After, we'll be presented with our fresh, locally generated QR code:</p>
|
|
<p><img src="../static/image/article/qr-generated.png" /></p>
|
|
<p>We just scan this on our phone, and we are off to the races!</p>
|
|
<p>Thanks for reading :-)</p>

<p>Nyxt continues to be a community effort and we are regularly inspired by our wonderful users! This work would not be possible without the creativity/idea of <a href="https://github.com/novoid/">Karl Voit</a> and the initial <a href="https://github.com/atlas-engineer/nyxt/pull/1620">QR code implementation</a> by <span class="citation" data-cites="ag91">@ag91</span>. Thank you both very much!</p>
