[FR] Open Self-hosted Instance Share Links with the App (Mobile or Desktop)

[FlorentPoinsaut]

Description

Currently, when a user receives a share link from a self-hosted AppFlowy instance, it cannot be opened directly in the AppFlowy mobile or desktop application. It would be helpful if these share links could be opened directly in the corresponding app, regardless of platform (mobile or desktop).

Impact

Anyone using a self-hosted AppFlowy instance who collaborates and shares documents with others, especially those who prefer using the mobile or desktop app.

Additional Context

This feature would improve the workflow for those using private/self-hosted instances, allowing a seamless transition from shared links to the application environment.

Hi, I'd like to work on this. Is it still open?

[FlorentPoinsaut]

HI @danishaft , For me yes. Let's go! :-D

Version 0.10.4 (0.10.4) installed here, and I observed the same behaviour.

Here are the two steps to get to the link:

[pascalpvk]

the link obtained that way looks like : https://appflowy.com/app/eaddaf6e-XXXXXXXXXX-cc6de69e4ff0/2-END_REMOVED_AS_ANONYMISATION

Which have us land on the SaaS version of Appflowy, which doesn't know our self-hosted AppFlowy instance. We should be able to, at least open, an URL directly from with the desktop App.
