DB Links

A simple Chrome Extension to view links sent from the iPhone.

Introduction

This extension is similar to myPhoneDesktop except that it pushes data in reverse -- from phone to desktop. It currently reads links from the /Apps/Drafts/links.txt file.

How To Use

On the iPhone, you need to have Drafts installed. Then, use this bookmarklet to send the current page in Safari (or any browser) to Drafts which appends the link and the title to a file (/Apps/Drafts/links.txt) in Dropbox.

javascript:(function() {
    var href = encodeURIComponent(location.href),
        hrefAndTitle = encodeURIComponent(location.href + ',' + document.title);
    location.href = 'drafts://x-callback-url/create?text=' + hrefAndTitle 
                    + '&action=Read%20link%20later&afterSuccess=Delete&x-success=' + href;
})()

And here's the Drafts action.

drafts://x-callback-url/import_action?type=dropbox&name=Read%20link%20later&path=%2FApps%2FDrafts%2F&filenametype=2&filename=links&ext=txt&writetype=2&template=%5B%5Bdraft%5D%5D
