Download the solution OFFLINE

This add-on will solve the problem of using the Stack website from a computer
Download the solution as a text file to copy into the IDE on the computer directly

Hey @QuantumSoftwereSolution thanks for the feature request. Could you go into a little more detail as to what the use-case is? I'm a little confused as to why an Android app should include this specific piece of functionality for desktop computers. I think the desktop version of stackoverflow.com and other Stack Exchange websites already covers this use-case.

I mean, when you search for a specific code in the application and you find it and want to write it in the IDE instead of pressing the share button you make copies of the code and save it in a text file and then transfer it directly to the computer بتاريخ الثلاثاء، 13 أكتوبر 2020، جاء من Tyler Wong <notifications@github.com

It's an interesting idea, however I'm not sure I see how this fits the use-case for an Android application. I always saw this application as a quick and easy way to view questions on-the-go. If I was planning on using Stack Overflow with the intention of pasting a code snippet into an IDE or text editor, I would visit the desktop website on my computer and copy-paste/read whatever I need from there.

Again, I think it is an interesting idea, but I am unconvinced that this use-case isn't already covered by the desktop site.

Sure, of course, but I kind of think out of the box, I mean imagining someone learning to program using the phone, for example, I started learning on the phone before I got a computer. It would be better if those in such a situation could copy the code directly from the application of the ide or the code editor in general, so that the matter would be more comprehensive, simpler and faster. ‫في الأربعاء، 14 أكتوبر 2020 في 2:18 ص تمت كتابة ما يلي بواسطة ‪Tyler Wong‬‏ <‪notifications@github.com‬‏>:‬

So in the app you can already select text and copy it to your clipboard to send to a computer. I think that covers your use-case pretty well already? There's no need to export it to a file. I'd like to avoid unnecessary complexity.

Yes, but this will give it more features and more acceptance by users who, once the name of Stack is mentioned, will use the computer ‫في الخميس، 15 أكتوبر 2020 في 12:14 ص تمت كتابة ما يلي بواسطة ‪Tyler Wong‬‏ <‪notifications@github.com‬‏>:‬

Hm, I still think that the ability to copy/paste or share directly from the question details page already covers this use-case pretty well. If a user wanted to reference Stack Overflow on their computer, they could use the website directly as well.

Also, if a user was not able to access a computer right away while browsing the app for questions, they could always bookmark a specific question to save for later (which is saved to their Stack Overflow account and also available offline).

Closing for now unless other use-cases are brought up. Thanks again for the suggestion! Will let you know if plans change.
