Link should open in Mobile but doesn't

[jidanni]

First step, on your cell phone visit https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.quantumbadger.redreader

Second step, scroll down to where it says App support and click the Website link.

Yes you'll end up on GitHub, but you'll end up in a browser.

Okay now examining this process again, you'll see there's an intermediary redirect link, http://redreader.org , and if you copy and visit that then indeed you end up in getting to the final destination in your GitHub app.

Hey @jidanni , thanks for this step-by-step. From my understanding, it seems like http://redreader.org/ is a URL that redirects to https://github.com/QuantumBadger/RedReader

~
❯ curl -v https://redreader.org
> Host: redreader.org
> User-Agent: curl/8.6.0

For my understanding, is the expectation here that the redirect should open into GitHub Mobile, but instead opens in a browser?

[jidanni]

Yes. And what's worse, we end up with in the browser. But there's no way to then get into the app at the right spot, without a whole lot of manual handstands.
