Dynamic quick links

A dynamic quick link is a URL template with {argument} placeholders. When you tap it, Nibit prompts you to fill in the variable parts, then opens the completed URL.

This is especially useful on mobile — constructing a URL like https://github.com/myorg/myrepo/issues/1234 by hand takes 30 seconds. With a dynamic quick link you tap once, type 1234, and you’re there.

Any URL that follows a consistent pattern is a candidate. The examples below are just a starting point — if a service you use has a predictable URL structure, you can build a quick link for it.

https://github.com/{argument name="owner"}/{argument name="repo"}/issues/{argument name="number"}

Jump directly to a ticket by number — no navigating through boards.

# Google Translate clipboard → English

If the value you want to pass is already in your clipboard, use {clipboard} instead of {argument} — no fill-in prompt needed:

# Search Google for whatever you copied
https://www.google.com/search?q={clipboard}
# Look up copied text on Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search/{clipboard}
# Create a new tweet from clipboard
https://x.com/intent/tweet?text={clipboard}

Nibit automatically percent-encodes placeholder values in quick links so spaces and special characters never break the URL. Use the raw modifier if a value is already encoded and you want to pass it through as-is.
