22k.io Alias Browser and URL Shortener
A while back, someone (c-f-b?) mentioned putting json entries into aliases. Has anybody looked into how this might work?
As an example, I have put this into the 'notsoshifty' alias:
{"web":"http://www.notsoshifty.de/","fb":"notsoshifty","twitter":"notsoshifty","nxtacct":"11111125831111116332","smtp":"notsoshifty111@example.com","skype":"notsoshifty1971"}
Or, easier to read:
{
"web" : "http://www.notsoshifty.de/",
"nxtacct" : "11111125831111116332",
"smtp" : "notsoshifty111@example.com",
"skype" : "notsoshifty1971",
"twitter" : "notsoshifty",
"fb" : "notsoshifty"
}
So the idea would be that if "nxt:notsoshifty" was entered into a browser, the browser extension would fetch the alias, look for the 'web' entry, and go to that URL (
http://www.notsoshifty.de/). A nxt client would look for the 'nxtacct' entry if it was in reference to making a payment; an email client would look for 'smtp', etc.
Oh dear, here I go again...
