Android system share
As an Android user, I'd like to be able to share content from photos to Amethyst, but Amethyst doesn't appear in the list of apps when the system share dialog comes up.
Potential solution: Register Amethyst and be able to handle the incoming intent to create a new note.
Hmm, @vitorpamplona for this one, NewNote will need to be registered as a route for navigation.
Check MainActivity.uriToRoute. We have a few custom ones already for notifications, tags and nip47 uris. Maybe it's time to move away from the Dialog?
Right, the dialog showing might be problematic when trying to pass the URI of the shared image.
We might need to add options to share in the feed, DMs or in the stories section. I am not sure how to manage all these options. Maybe we can even list some people in the DM section of android?
@vitorpamplona we can start by adding share in the feed. Please, as for stories, is it only videos, or pictures/videos?
+1 for sharing to feed to start with. I was about to request the feature myself.
It might need different cases for text and video/image since media needs an additional upload step?
Mime types have different intentions so that can be useful?
+1000. I think this functionality is essential for a social media app because most of people's activity is sharing content, so the app is useless for a great amount of people without it.
@vitorpamplona I was thinking the UX for this feature could be like Signal or WhatsApp style image sharing.
Welcome back @KotlinGeekDev! I had brief look but I couldn't work out the required mainactivity changes.
Looking forward to this feature!
