Note creation in Android

[Stephane-30]

I've installed PN on my server and it works very well. I'm impressed with the functionality and feature set. I use the PWAs on my desktop and on Android. The Chrome Extension is installed on Vivaldi and works great (I obviously have to use PN in the browser).

Is there a way to share URL/website with PN on Android?

Thanks so much! I'm really happy to hear you're enjoying Poznote. 😊

Just to make sure I understand your question correctly: when you say "share a URL/website with PN on Android", do you mean sharing a web page from another Android app (using Android's Share menu) so it gets sent directly to Poznote?

Or are you referring to sharing a Poznote note/page publicly?

Could you give me a concrete example of what you'd like to do?

Just want to make sure I'm answering the right question. 🙂

Thanks,

Tim

Sorry, I wasn't quite clear. There are obviously two was of sharing.
I mean sharing content from a website or the URL by creating a new note containing the URL or text from the website.
When you found a website of interest (on your Android phone), you tab the shared button in your browser and select the app to share the content with.

Hooo, okay, I see now. I'm glad I asked. I think it's possible with the PWA, but I'll need to add a bit of code to support it. The only issue is that not all browsers necessarily support this feature. I'll test it and keep you posted. 😊

Hi @Stephane-30, thanks again for the kind words! 🙏

Poznote now registers as a share target on Android: once the PWA is installed, Poznote shows up in the system Share menu. Share a page from Chrome (or a link/text from any app), pick Poznote, and it creates a new note with the page title and a clickable link (I didn't succeed to get the text of the web page for the moment), same spirit as the Chrome extension, but no extension needed.

It will ship in the next release. After updating your instance, if Poznote doesn't appear in the share menu immediately, reinstall the PWA (Chrome also picks up the new capability on its own after a few days).

Release available. Please update Poznote to get your feature.
It is working on my phone. I hope it will on yours. I had to uninstall the PWA and install it again so that the Poznote icon appears into the sharing options.

Hi Tim @timothepoznanski , I've update to the latest version and reinstalled the PWA on my Android Pixel 8. Unfortunately no Poznote icon is appearing. I used a range of apps to share contents and rebooted my phone, but no success.
Is there anything I can do or help to get to the bottom of the issue.
