Over the last few days I vibecoded an app I wanted built for quite some time. It's a privacy-focused Android app that rewrites social media links into self-hosted alternatives using the Android share functionality.

goose and I are proud to announce Linkahest - the Alkahest (the universal solvent of alchemy) for links to certain platforms. To dissolve the nonsense, basically.

Shared links to X, YouTube and Reddit either annoy everyone with dark patterns, EU cookie nonsense, forced login before seeing the content or restrict posted contents from being easily copied - all that while spying on every interaction while using their platforms.

Share links from these platforms via the Android share sheet to Linkahest and you're ready to go to share it to nostr or wherever you hang around where people care about privacy. Share, post and read content without ads, tracking or forced logins - like it’s supposed to be. Comes with support for custom instances.

Hope this is useful for someone else. Appreciate any feedback, feature requests or even contributions.
