Future of Post Sharing Options?

hi @oplik0 , do you mean something like this "share" button? Actually, this would solve all the problems... Because it opens up all the options including text sharing and it is better than what I proposed...
Previously, I asked julian for permalink addition because of mobile post sharing issues... In general, I do not think there is any problem on desktop since copying the permalink is very easy on desktop. But, adding the button you proposed will solve this issue in a better way.

Yup, it's a pretty nice API, though as I mentioned it still has issues with support on desktops despite being in the works for 7 years now (which is largely because Windows doesn't have good story around sharing, and even after a few minutes of googling and even trying to get bing chat to spit something out I have no idea how the hell you integrate with it when writing a native app. EDIT: after writing this I remembered that it was added when MS was pushing UWP, and searching specifically for UWP share integration actually yielded results. So you can guess why no one is using it [tbf you can now make win32 apps use this API, but only because MS allowed adding UWP components to standard apps, and it takes that to interact with the new API])

@oplik0 I do not think desktop support is a problem though... Because it is already quite easy to copy / paste links on desktop... I never used share button on desktop, I directly copied the permalink...
But things are slightly different/harder on mobile...

Would be equally great to get an OAUTH plugin that works with LinkedIn too...

@phenomlab the guys maintaining https://github.com/auth0/passport-linkedin-oauth2 need to publish it to npm, I tried updating the linkedin plugin but it is using outdated dependencies and doesn't work. I've made a PR that updates the plugin to 3.2.0 so most of the work is done, https://github.com/joe1chen/nodebb-plugin-sso-linkedin-oauth2/pull/9/files
