From scripts and automations

Open a resurf://new link to save something, for example:

resurf://new?url=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com&tags=read,later

  • url saves a link.
  • content saves text as a note, when there's no url.
  • title sets the title.
  • tags takes comma-separated tags.
  • spaces takes comma-separated space IDs, not names.
  • note is added as a comment.
  • isPinned takes true or false.

A link with neither url nor content is ignored.
