In-App Links

Links found in app content — manual pages, announcements, and similar text — are handled consistently wherever they appear.

Internal links use the efa:// scheme. The part after the scheme is an in-app page path, so efa://manual/sharing opens this manual section. Tapping one pushes that page onto the navigation stack, just like navigating there yourself.

External links — https://, mailto:, and other schemes — open in your device’s external browser or the matching app.

Content authors can also write links relative to the current page (including .. to go up a level); they resolve to the same internal pages.

If an internal link points to a page that does not exist, the tap is ignored and the miss is recorded in the app log — nothing breaks.

Note: efa:// links navigate within the app. They are not web URLs. For opening fits from links shared outside the app, see fit links below.

Fit Links

Section titled “Fit Links”

The export dialog’s Copy link action produces a share URL like:

https://platform.efa-tech.dev/share/fit/raw?payload=EFA2:...

The payload carries the complete fit in the app-native format (the same content as the EFA native text export), encoded directly in the URL — nothing is uploaded to a server. Fits that are too large to fit in a URL cannot be shared this way; use the text export instead.

Opening a fit link shows a small chooser page where the recipient picks how to open it:

  • Open in app — launches the installed app and imports the fit (as a copy; existing fits are never modified). If no app responds, the page offers a download link.
  • Open in web app — imports the fit into the web app at app.efa-tech.dev.
  • Open in nightly — the same against the preview build.

Each option can be remembered; the next link then redirects automatically, with a cancel control and a reset option.

Platform support:

  • Android — verified App Links for all link hosts, plus the efa:// scheme. Opening a link goes straight to the app once verified.
  • Windows — installing the MSI registers the efa:// protocol.
  • Linux — best-effort: the AppImage desktop entry declares x-scheme-handler/efa, which applies only if your AppImage launcher integration (e.g. appimaged or Gear Lever) installs desktop entries.
  • Web — opening a fit link on either web app imports the fit and removes the payload from the address bar.

A link that is damaged or not a fit link shows an error in the app, or a “link not found” page on the chooser site — nothing is imported in either case.
