PWA + share_target

benjick opened this issue · comments

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Hello!

I've just started using this app and it's great. I would like (and could implement) a feature where you can "share" from your phone to Slash. I.e. have Slash appear on this screen: https://i.stack.imgur.com/N4kOo.png

My question is, would this be of interest to have built into this project or should I create another project that's just a small PWA with a share_target?

Cheers
Max

Describe the solution you'd like

My idea is to add some PWA capabilities to the web app and then use share_target to the end user (if they have installed the app as a PWA)

Additional context

No response

I think having it be a PWA with a share target would be awesome. In fact, on mobile it would make the experience much better. Sure we may be able to use the extension w/ Firefox now, however sharing links would be more ubiquitous (for mobile)
