I deleted the messaging apps from my computer.

It's been a long time since I used them there. But you still find things worth sending: a ridiculous accident story, a good coding thread, plain old football. So I built Smld. Point my phone at the screen, catch the link, and send it to friends from the apps already on my phone.

Send it. Darlin’ gets the link.

Be lazy with
AR Scan

Turn on AR and Smld watches the camera for you, reading it on the phone itself. No shutter to press.

Two ways to read a link

  1. Google Cloud Vision 0 scans left
  2. On the phone · ML Kit on the device

Out of scans? Smld reads the photo on the phone with ML Kit instead of Cloud Vision. It never stops working, it just reads a little less accurately.

Send me link darlin’ was a mailing list from our university days. Whenever someone found a link they liked, they emailed it to the group and everyone got it. That is where the name comes from, and the inspiration too: Smld is a small tribute to those days.
