+# geopos.link
+
+Geographic positions can be shared with [geo: URI][rfc5870]s,
+however popular messaging apps like Signal, WhatsApp and Telegram
+[don't recognize such links][osmwiki:geo:], so this web application
+provides a workaround that's privacy-respecting because the coordinates
+are encoded in the URI fragment, which is never sent to the server.
+
+Hosted under https://geopos.link/.
+
+[rfc5870]: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5870
+[osmwiki:geo:]: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Geo_URI_scheme
