I wish Android had more granular default app settings. I'd love to use Link Bubble for opening links in the twitter app, but I'm not ready to give up Chrome as the default browser for everything else. One option is to not set a default at all, but then I have to click through this[1] all time, which isn't exactly smooth.

#12This is amazing! Now I am actually starting to notice how much I have to wait when I click on a link from apps. Save to pocket, etc is a nice feature too.

#13OK, this is completely and absolutely inspired. Brilliant, especially the redirect handling. The design needs a bit of polish, but the core concept is just so damn good it's blatantly going to be copied.
I have not installed this app, but perhaps this app itself copied "concept" from the facebook messenger?
That is like saying the IPhone is a copied "concept" from other touchscreen devices.

Chris Lacy (the author) delayed the release because he was encouraged to patent the idea. Looks to me like that was a good move.

#16I always used to open a link on Chrome, switch to the previous app, keep the page loading and then after a few seconds I would open Chrome and see the fully loaded page - however this is a more elegant solution than my "hack".
Installed and already using it.

Please no, I like to see what companies can do without being bought by large lumbering giants.

#19This is incredible. This accomplishes exactly the way we browse on desktops: Open links in new tabs and switch to them when they're loaded, and then close them one by one to finally return to the original page. I remember thinking of how to solve this before but didn't come up with a good solution.

I recommend everyone to check out his Android Launcher:

Im a big fan of it and find it makes my phone faster to use than any other launcher without having to learn new ui concepts.
