It would be nice to have a big button "Plus" like Evernote at right-bottom to add a new article with less click !

Back in PR #443 we had such a button. But currently it is gone.

Do you have a use case where you can't share to the app?

I believe you can use a floating button for this. It sticks to the main page even while scrolling and changing fragments.

"Only use a FAB if it is the most suitable way to present a screen's primary action.". Adding articles is not the primary action, navigating and opening articles is. Adding articles is much better done by sharing to the app.

I just stumbled upon this issue as I frequently paste articles into the Wallabag app when receiving links through IM. As direct sharing of links from a chat is not always possible, there are two ways to save these articles in Wallabag:

1. Opening the link in a browser and then sharing it to Wallabag (this is a detour)
2. Copying the link, then navigating to the left navigation drawer and inserting the link

Both approaches are not ideal, yet no. 2 would significantly benefit from an easily accessible FAB. Therefore, I'd be thankful if you could reconsider and re-open the issue, @di72nn.

Ok, I'm open for it to be optional.
