On Android my Discourse is not always an option for 'sharing'

I’d like to revisit this conversation, as I believe Chrome now supports letting a PWA be a share target.

I would like to be able to use the share-nodes icon to easily share an image to a Discourse instance that I’ve saved to my phone as a PWA.

I chatted briefly with @pmusaraj about the idea, and he asked, “What would Discourse do once it receives the photo?”

I noticed another app I use pops up a menu:

So perhaps Discourse could offer a menu the same way, with options like:

  • Create a new topic
  • Reply to an existing topic
  • Create a new PM
  • Reply to an existing PM

I’m interested to know what others think. What would Android users expect to see after selecting your Community as the share target?
