Integrate with the OS sharing UI with the Web Share API

With the Web Share API, web apps are able to use the same system-provided share capabilities as platform-specific apps. The Web Share API makes it possible for web apps to share links, text, and files to other apps installed on the device in the same way as platform-specific apps.

The Share Target plugin allows sharing content through your device's integrated sharing UI directly to your #WordPress site (via #WebShareTarget API), for a simplified publishing experience. Try it out, I'm excited to hear what you're gonna use it for! https://felix-arntz.me/blog/sharing-content-from-your-device-directly-into-a-new-wordpress-post/

Sharing content from your device directly into a new WordPress post - felix-arntz.me

The Share Target plugin for WordPress allows you to share images and other content from any app on your device directly into the block editor.

I was really excited about the #WebShare, #WebShareTarget, and #BackgroundSync APIS when they were announced, but two years later they're still only supported in Chrome. MDN lists them all as 'non-standard and is not on a standards track'

Does anybody connected to the browser vendor space know the status of these? Are Mozilla and the Edge team against them for some reason? These APIs would be incredibly useful for #PWAs, so I'd be interested in hearing any objections to them

Just got a Mastodon account. Excited to see it's a #pwa (installable web app) and supports #websharetarget on Chrome Canary.
