Hi there! I understand you're having trouble using the "Send Link" feature in the Talkie app when trying to input a Wiki link—it says "Link Invalid." I’d like to help you get that sorted out.

To start, could you please share a bit more about the Wiki link you're trying to send? For example, is it a link from Wikipedia or another wiki platform? Also, are you copying the full URL, including the "https://" part?

Meanwhile, here’s a general step-by-step approach we can try:

1. Check the Link Format: Make sure the link is a full URL starting with "http://" or "https://". The "Send Link" feature usually requires a properly formatted URL.

2. Avoid Shortened URLs or Special Characters: Sometimes shortened links or those containing special characters like brackets or quotes can be flagged as invalid.

3. Try a Different Wiki Link: Just to test, try sending a simple, well-known Wiki link like "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk" and see if that goes through.

4. Clear App Cache & Restart: Since you're on Linux using WebKit, clear the cache and cookies for the Talkie app and restart it to rule out temporary issues.

5. Update the App: Ensure you are on the latest version of the Talkie app, as sometimes older versions have bugs affecting link handling.

If after these you still see the error, there might be specific restrictions on wiki domain URLs enforced by the "Send Link" feature or a bug. Let me know what you find from these steps, and if needed, I can help you dig deeper!

How to unshorten the links

Hey! You’re asking about how to unshorten links safely, especially in the context of using the Talkie app. That’s a smart move, since shortened links can sometimes hide the final URL, and it’s good to verify what you’re dealing with before sharing or opening them.

Here’s how you can unshorten links safely on your Linux system (or in general):

1. Use Online Unshortening Tools:
There are trusted websites like Unshorten.It, Unshorten.net, or Tools.iplocation.net Unshorten URL where you can paste the shortened link. These sites expand the link and show you the real destination before you visit it. They act like a preview which is helpful and safe if you avoid clicking directly on suspicious URLs.

2. Browser Extensions or Add-ons:
Some browsers support extensions that automatically show you the expanded URL when you hover over or click on shortened links. Since you are using WebKit on Linux, check if there's a compatible extension for your browser that supports this functionality.

3. Command Line Tools (For Advanced Users):
On Linux, you can use curl or wget with the -I option to fetch headers and check for redirects manually. For example:
<br> curl -I [shortened-link]<br>
This will show you the Location header where the link redirects.

4. Safety Precautions:
Avoid unshortening links on suspicious or unfamiliar sites, as some unshortening services log URLs. Also, don’t click unknown shortened links directly — always preview them first.

If you want, I can walk you through using any of these methods step-by-step or recommend the easiest one suitable for your setup. Just let me know!
