# quick-share
QuickShare is a simple browser plugin that allows you to share a URL with a friend.
# How it works?
It has two components.
1. The web API
2. The browser extension
Every user first creates an account in the website. Then, he can share his username/email with his friends.The user should be able to share any URL via the plugin with any other user who has the browser extension, through his username/email.
The URL gets shared right in the browser of the other user.
