# Setting up a handler for `nostr:` links on your Desktop, even if you don't use a native client This is the most barebones possible, it will just open a web browser at `https://nostr.guru/` with the contents of the `nostr:` link. Create this file at `~/.local/share/applications/nostr-opener.desktop`: ``` [Desktop Entry] Exec=/home/youruser/nostr-opener %u Name=Nostr Browser Type=Application StartupNotify=false MimeType=x-scheme-handler/nostr; ``` (Replace "youruser" with your username above.) This will create a default handler for `nostr:` links. It will be called with the link as its first argument. Now you can create the actual program at `~/nostr-opener`. For example: ```python #!/usr/bin/env python import sys import webbrowser nip19 = sys.argv[1][len('nostr:'):] webbrowser.open(f'https://nostr.guru/{nip19}') ``` Remember to make it executable with `chmod +x ~/nostr-opener`.
