About twitter2nitter

twitter2nitter redirects shared social-media links to an alternate viewing service. A user can open a link with the app directly, or share the link to it from another application. It can also recognize a URL embedded in a larger block of shared text, such as a message that contains commentary followed by a link. This is useful when another app shares a whole text snippet rather than a clean URL. The app extracts the included link and redirects it, avoiding the need to select and copy the address manually. The description also notes that a search result containing a social-media link can be shared to the app on mobile. The app’s scope is link handling: it does not provide its own social feed or messaging features. Its redirect behavior depends on the alternate site being reachable and continuing to support the destination URL. twitter2nitter is intended for users who want a quick way to open social-media links through a different web interface, whether they launch a link directly or pass it through Android’s share menu.
