Discover Searching Opens Results in App

Open delianides opened this issue 9 years ago • 6 comments

Right now discover search results open their links through the in app browser instead of the app itself.

Just spotted this too—opening results (and other links) within the app will be a game changer for discovering other content!

Totally. We also need to update our redirecting so content from Perry's site doesn't try to go to newspring.cc https://github.com/NewSpring/Apollos/issues/498

Actually, the redirects work fine in the app because of the in app browser

@johnthepink was this resolved? should discover results go to in app pages if it's an articles/devo/story/etc?

jonhorton avatar Sep 15 '16 01:09 jonhorton

@Jonhorton no. Discover still uses the in app browser.

@jonhorton @delianides correct. We need to intelligently parse external links and internalize them if possible. Not totally trivial since the app and the website have different url schems
