Public bug reported: Currently Birdie only detects URLs that start with http(s)://, but Twitter uses a different algorithm. This is a problem for the character count.
Twitter provides code for the detection in the following GitHub repos: https://github.com/twitter/twitter-text-objc https://github.com/twitter/twitter-text-rb https://github.com/twitter/twitter-text-java https://github.com/twitter/twitter-text-js We can use them as a base for Vala-based detection. ** Affects: birdie Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Birdie Developers, which is subscribed to Birdie.
