Just type [hmd.link](https://hmd.link) into your VR browser to access your link.\n\n\n### Basic Usage\n\n- Visit [hmd.link](https://hmd.link) in your headset's web browser (Quest Browser, Wolvic, etc.)\n- Visit [hmd.link](https://hmd.link) in your desktop or mobile web browser\n- Click \"Add link\" on the device you want to share from\n- Enter a URL and click the send icon\n\nYour link now ready to open on your headset!\n\nThe link is deleted after 5 minutes or when you click the trash icon.\n\nConsider bookmarking [hmd.link](https://hmd.link) on your headset's browser for easy access, or simply keep the tab open.\n\n### URL Shortcut\n\nPrefix a URL with `hmd.link/` to automatically share it on load. Use this shortcut to share pages you already have open, or to create prefilled sharing links.\n\nExample: https://hmd.link/https://aframe.io/examples/showcase/helloworld/\n\n### Bookmarklet\n\nShare pages to [hmd.link](https://hmd.link) in a single click!\n\nCreate a new bookmark on your desktop or mobile browser with the following code as the URL.\n\n```js\njavascript:(function(){window.open('https://hmd.link/'+window.location.href,'_blank')})()\n```\n\n### What is this sorcery?\n\nInspired by the local file sharing app [ShareDrop](https://www.sharedrop.io/), this app uses your public IP address to automatically connect devices on the same network. However, since it's just  text being shared, there's no fancy P2P stuff going on, just a simple database.\n\n### Why use this?\n\nAs of July 2020, there is still no easy way to access WebXR content on consumer headsets. Some browsers like Firefox Reality offer a way to sync bookmarks and tabs with their 2D counterpart, but it requires additional setup. Others, like the built-in Oculus Browser don't have such a feature.","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmattrossman%2Fhmd-link","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmattrossman%2Fhmd-link","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmattrossman%2Fhmd-link/lists"}
