Research direction

Start by locating QuickCaptureParser, CaptureScreen, and the related unit tests. Add URL detection for HTTP and HTTPS links, including non-standard query strings, and render a preview chip showing the hostname. Done when the parser tests pass and captured URLs display as metadata chips.

Description

enhancement good first issue
Summary

When users paste or type links in Quick Capture, the text parser should identify web URLs and format them with clickable metadata chips rather than plain unstructured text.

Scope
  • Add regex URL detector in QuickCaptureParser.
  • Render preview chip with hostname in CaptureScreen.
  • Assert URL parsing across HTTP, HTTPS, and non-standard query strings in unit tests.
