Allow pasting files directly into the page

Open JeremyKennedy opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

I would like to be able to take a screenshot (which is copied to my clipboard), and paste it directly into microbin. That way I don't need to save it to my PC and select the file.

@szabodanika are you already working on it? maybe we create a PR for it

No, not just yet. I am also not quite sure how we would go about this. Can this be done with simple vanilla JS? If so then I am very happy with you working on a PR for this

Good news - It seems fairly straightforward with vanilla JS!

I have a ton of experience with JS, though none with Rust, so not sure how helpful I'd be on this one.
