Issue with opening link

AvinashR

I added timeline entry with a link(google.com).

But

When I click the link nothing happens.
When I long press the link, it shows an option to "open" and after clicking it nothing happens.

I tried the same on mac app(after syncing). It redirected me to safari browser as expected.

That is because "google.com" is not a valid URL. You will find that when you paste this into the iOS Notes app, it will not transform into a link.
However, when you paste "https://google.com", this will transform into a clickable link in the Notes app - and that link is also clickable in Diarium.
Even this forum detects the latter as a link but not the former 🙂
I will this if there's something to improve this. Maybe the app should prevent adding invalid URLs like "google.com"

But same entry was working fine in mac with just google.com.

I am just curious now.

That is because macOS tries to be smart about links and appends the "https" while the same logic is not on iOS
