This comes to mind - I use it personally everyday and find it comes in handy for tasks like you've described above: https://github.com/TrianguloY/URLCheck
Hmm, am I missing something in the functionality?
I like that it sanitizes the URL, but I need something that will convert a share of, say:
http://this site
To open a URL of http://that.site?url=http://this.site
Is there a module that let's me do this?
I would need to know more details on your use case to say for certain, hard to know for sure without knowing the apps in question.
This is what I use and I almost forgot that I'm even using it until I saw this post.
Edit: It's on F-Droid but I don't know how to share the link directly to it on there.

Am I dumb or is there not a way to share a link directly from F-Droid?
I try the share button, but it tries to share the .apk file.
My share menu default to text with file based share as a secondary option.
I use Droid-ify F-Droid does that indeed. Droid-ify is an overall nicer client to acces different repositories.

Yep. Use it every day. It's awesome.
Thank you! Just learned URL Forwarder is actually open source, but will take a look at this, too.
