@cheeaun very nice! I love it when PWAs support web share targets

Hi @cheeaun,
💯
Is the code open? Where?
Show threadSamirFeb 25
@cheeaun now if only Google would be so nice as to open up WebAPK to other browser vendors...

@cheeaun Great.
Do we need to "reinstall" the PWA? I have Phanpy installed (from Firefox) on a Android 14 and I don't see that option.

Or does it only work if "installed" from Chrome?

According to
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Share_API
"share" and "data.text parameter" works on Firefox for Android.

I was just looking about that functionality this week :)

@DavidMarzalC according to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps/Manifest/Reference/share_target#browser_compatibility , doesn't work on Firefox 😥

@cheeaun Ahh, sorry I confused "Web Share Target API" with "Web Share API" 😅

Will wait 🤞

@DavidMarzalC yeah it’s pretty confusing. It’s also quite difficult to test the implementation 😅

@cheeaun @DavidMarzalC I feel like you could write a book about the path to creating a truly capable PWA.

@cheeaun nice, it’s so annoying that iOS/safari isn’t implementing this.
Show threadBret MogilefskyFeb 25
@cheeaun I don't know if I can take another outstanding feature. What have we done to deserve this!?

@cheeaun That's interesting. How does it work?
