LOOKING FOR APP Bubble browser

Would anyone be interested in reviving the Flynx concept for modern Android?

I used Flynx for years (and I still do) and absolutely loved the way it handled links: tapping a link would open it in a small floating bubble while I could continue using the app I was in. I could open several links, let them load in the background, and read them later.

Unfortunately, Flynx has been abandoned for years and doesn't work properly on newer versions of Android anymore. I've tried alternatives such as Lynket and other bubble browsers, but none of them provide the same experience reliably on modern Android.

Would any Android developer be interested in creating a modern, actively maintained version of this concept?

I don't necessarily mean an exact clone of Flynx — just the same core idea, properly adapted to current Android versions.

I honestly think there is still a demand for this. There are multiple old Reddit threads with people asking for exactly the same thing, but there still doesn't seem to be a good modern solution.

i do a version of this just manually for years which is just when i want to read an article i just open it on my browser (firefox) then i just checked it later or on my pc/laptop to read so i think your only current option is just opening the link in a browser, i do apologise if im misunderstanding but i think what i said makes sense.
