fuX Extension

fuX, a project made to work alongside FixUpX, makes it easy to embed Twitter/X posts in places like Discord or Telegram. Instead of having to manually change a link from x.com to fixupx.com, it simply copies the already-formatted link with an easy to access button beneath the posts' media near the share and like buttons.

This is an open-source project that can be viewed, copied, altered, etc. on my GitHub:
