Product TLDR: Share hyperlinks from (almost) any apps to desktop browser with just a scan.
Play Store link : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wyemun.caastme
Update ver 1.3 Support bookmarks management.
Story:
This is the first time I'm posting this on DevDB, looks awesomeee!
This project was mainly inspired by the way WeChat and the new WhatsApp scan to login (into the browser web app) feature.
I had this idea to re-purpose the same method into sharing hyperlink to the browsers. I know that there're tonnes of other ways to achieve the same thing, but I'm here to challenge quickest way.
This idea had actually just spawned randomly less than 30 hours ago, and I'm proud to announce that, I have COMPLETED IT (With proper UI as well!)
How to use:
The instructions are written in both the Android app and the website ( http://caast.me ) as well
Go to http://caast.me on your desktop browser (preferably Google Chrome or Firefox)
From any Android apps (which has a Share function), click the Share
Select "CaastMe" in the "Share Via" popup as the sharing medium.
A barcode scanning screen will appear. Scan the QRCode on the website which you just opened on the desktop browser.
MAGIC!
Features:
No addional installation on desktop
No authentication/login in any form
Can be used throughout many apps, such as Chrome, Youtube App, Reddit reader. (As long as there's a Share function)
Argubly the fastest way to open webpage from mobile to Desktop

This is neat -- it's not working on one of my devices, though. It starts fine, but as soon as the QR code stars coming into focus, CaastMe freezes and the following error keeps appearing in the logcat:
Code:
E/ (2463): HAL_PIXEL_FORMAT_2_V4L2_PIX::unmatched HAL_PIXEL_FORMAT color_space(0x11e)
That's on the i9500, although I'm using a custom ROM (Cyanogenmod 11). Let me know if there's anything more you need, cheers.
Thanks for the report Germainz, I will take a look of it now!
Update: CaastMe just got featured on AndroidPolice --> http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/01/29/caastme-clever-way-share-links-computer-android-device-using-qr-codes/
Version 1.1 Updates. CaastMe can now share text too! DDD
Nice app. It would be nice to be also able to share video links. Any plans on making it open source?
Updated to support bookmarks (v1.3)
Previous update (v1.2) to support History!
Very useful app, but the URL caast.me is no longer working! Why?

Hello,

You can add custom one. The list of dare are customizable, you can activate ou inactivate some of them.
When user choose dare, you can take picture to remember the best moment. You can also share your picture on a public gallery.
I add lot of truthes and dares every week. You can also send me any idea to improve my app.

Google has decided to suspend my application because of the image gallery. So here is a new version of the application. This is the same as before, but without the gallery (now only available on my website).
I had reached approximately 200,000 users, I hope to see many of you participate.

Finally Google updated Google+ App, today is the day we finally get out hands on that new UI. Google+ head honcho Dave Besbris has kindly provided a complete changelog for the update, and it's a big one.
We don't know what secrets might be hiding inside yet, but here's all the new stuff you'll see. SEE SOURCE FOR SCREENSHOTS
Here is the changelog posted on Google Play Store :
Auto Awesome Stories now combine your photos, videos and the places you visit into beautiful travelogues. You can read more at googleblog.blogspot.com.
Auto Awesome Movies are now available on Android, iOS and the web, so lots more people will receive highlight reels of their photos and videos. Here’s one example: http://goo.gl/9ljcdj.
You can now create animated GIFs and photobooth-style images on demand. Just tap the new plus button in Photos, and select either Motion or Mix.
Really big photo libraries are now supported on Android, so you can access your many thousands of photos quickly and easily.
You can now browse your entire photo library, as well as your highlights, by date. Just drag the new scroll bar to move forwards or backwards in time.
Profiles now display total content views on both Android and the web. (You can choose to show or hide this number via settings.)
A new navigation menu makes it easier to switch between your favorite circles and communities, as well as other places in the app.
It’s a lot easier to share content from your phone or tablet. To give it a try, just tap the new pencil icon at the bottom right of the stream.
The app menu now slides away as you move down the stream, letting posts fill the entire screen.
It certainly looks like that red redesign is about to roll out. Besbris says the update will start appearing today. APK Links have attached below :
File name: com.google.android.apps.plus_ 4.4.0.67576161.apk

News Kit is a new news aggregator model.
Registration in the application is not required - we do not store any personal data.
You design your own news feed. You can read each news source separately, or you can collect your own news feed from different sources. Read only what you are interested in. Unlike most aggregators, we do not add sources to the feed to which you did not subscribe and do not impose news on you that are not interesting to you.
The catalog of popular news sources, for convenience, is divided not only by category, but also by country. This allows you to create separate news feeds for each country.
The catalog is constantly updated with new sources and countries.
If your country is not yet in the catalog, just write to us and we will add it. You can write to us directly from the application, in the "Information" section.
It is possible to add new sources.
Simple and intuitive interface - to see the catalog you just need to open the side panel. Setting up a news feed takes place in the same place in two clicks. By opening any category of the catalog, you can read news from any source, even if you are not subscribed to it. This allows you to first open the source, view articles, and if you like them, add the source to your feed in one go.
Two article display modes. By default, all articles open in read mode, without annoying ads, hit counts, whistles and frills for decoration. If you wish, you can always go to the source’s site and read the full version of the article in its original form.
It is possible to change the color theme of the application, for example, for reading in the dark it is convenient to turn on the dark theme.
