Bookmarklet

Drag the link you'll find under your profile, to the bookmark of the browser

Now you'are able to post a new link just be clicking this bookmarklet wherever you are on the web

Links sync on mobile

If you don't host ShaarPy on a dedicated server, you can run it locally and sync the links in markdown file and sync them on mobile.

You're able to do that by settings the variable SHAARPY_LOCALSTORAGE_MD to a directory path in you .env file.

Then files are generated, you may found them on your mobile (thanks to syncthing for managing that task)
