I really wish jerboa could show urls on links for this reason. Are there any other Android clients that do?
- I'm sad that the RIF dev is making a Tildes app next, because the RIF UX around links was absolutely spectacular.
- Connect doesn't appear to be.
  
  It does in card and full width view, just not in list or reverse list view based on my testing just now.
  
  Edit: It shows the domain at least. Jerboa does too in every view in 0.0.38 as far as I can tell.
  
  Do the android apps have this issue? What would they even do with a JavaScript link?
  
  Links in post body and comments don't show URLs so they could easily send ya to a malware site or gore/NSFW/IP logger site.
  
  True but op is talking about JavaScript links.
- Liftoff shows the domain the link is going to, but not the entire URL. And it only shows up when going to the comments.
  
  Good enough! I'll switch to Liftoff today
  
  EDIT: Liftoff isn't showing any website/url previews for the links in the post or comment text but it's working for primary URLs of posts so it's better than nothing lol
  
  EDIT2: Actually Liftoff doesn't do anything more than Jerboa already does. It seems Boost can show URLs before opening a link but it is closed source.
