Feature idea: share thredd results as standalone webpage

Open ivanistheone opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Inspired by onetab's "share as a webpage" feature, imagine a new button in the menu bar that would allow thredd users to share the thredd results for a particular website with another user that might not have thredd installed (yet).

e.g. scenario

STEP 1: user A visits page X, sees interesting discussions in the thredd sidebar, and clicks the "Share as webpage" button thredd idea

STEP 2: user gets redirected to a standalone web URL that contains the same results as in the sidebar, but accessible to anyone on the web without installing thredd.

STEP 3: user A shares the web URL for the results with user B "Hi B, check out the discussions I found on reddit bout site X"

STEP 4: user B checks the web URL and enjoys the "reddit research" that user A provided them with without the need to install anything

STEP 5: user B finds the "this page was powered by thredd" in the web URL footer and goes on to install thredd broswer extension and becomes a user

I love this! Sorry I didn't see your request until now. I must not have notifications set up properly for Github

I'll make this a priority for Thredd's next update :)
