Deep Links
Test a mobile deep link without building and deploying the app first.
Testing iOS and Android deep links required a full build-and-deploy cycle just to check the URL format worked.
A public deployment is available to try.
Case Study
Before
Mobile app deep links require precise URL formatting with platform-specific parameters. Testing them required building and deploying apps, slowing development iteration.
After
Reduced deep link creation from trial-and-error to a guided process. The format validation catches errors before deployment, eliminating the build-test cycle for link verification.
How it's solved
Built a deep link generator with templates for iOS (universal links) and Android (app links), parameter builders, QR code generation, and a testing panel that validates link format before deployment.
Trade-offs
It validates link format, not runtime behavior — a correctly formatted link can still fail if the target app isn't installed.
