Link As You Go is an iPhone app that saves you from typing all the links you see around you on your phone. Just snap a photo of the link and the app will open it.

Thanks for hunting @gimly, love this concept. Can you tell us a bit more about how you came up with the idea and how it works?

Link As You Go

Maker

@abadesi Hi, thanks for the kind words :) I was at a dev conference last year and noticed that most of the slides included links to examples or articles which were not trivial to jot down. So I decided to write an app to convert all my photos from the conference into useful links. I wrote an article on how it works (attached above) - basically, the app sends the photo to Azure OCR and gets back the text found in it and then it parses the links using a combination of the built-in link detector in iOS and some regexes for edge cases.
