In version 1.6 Micro Social now supports deep linking through custom URL schemes, making it easier to integrate with other apps and automate your posting workflow.

New Post URL Scheme

Create new posts directly from other apps using the microsocial://newpost URL scheme:

Share articles and web pages with a rich format:

microsocial://newpost?type=link&url=<encoded_url>&title=<encoded_title>&quote=<encoded_quote>&comments=<encoded_comments>

Example:

microsocial://newpost?type=link&url=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com&title=My%20Article&quote=Interesting%20excerpt&comments=My%20thoughts

Status Posts

Quickly share text updates:

microsocial://newpost?type=status&text=<encoded_text>

Example:

microsocial://newpost?type=status&text=Hello%20world

Books Integration

Track your reading journey with the new books URL scheme:

microsocial://books?isbn=<isbn>&stage=<stage>

Supported stages:

  • reading: Currently reading
  • want: Want to read
  • finished: Finished reading

Example:

microsocial://books?isbn=1234567890&stage=reading

When you add a book, Micro Social will automatically:

  • Add it to the appropriate shelf
  • Create a post with the book title, authors, and ISBN link
  • Include a 📚 emoji for visual appeal

Shortcuts Example

Ever seen a book somewhere that you want to read later on? No need to write it down with a simple Shortcut using Micro Social new URL scheme. Just pull out your phone and either type in the ISBN or scan it with your phone to add it to a shelf of your choice.

I am sure there is a lot more things you can do with the new url scheme and expect more expansion in the coming updates. Download Micro Social to get started.
