If you were to share via the browser itself to your email client, it would likely auto-populate the subject and body with information. Been doing that for well over a decade, probably much longer as I've accepted it as normal when sharing links.

> share via the browser itself to your email client

How do you do that?

[hammyhavoc]

Every major desktop browser has sharing functions built into it. For example, in Firefox, you can add an 'Email Link' option to the UI next to your taskbar that looks like an envelope, and go from there. Some browsers don't have this functionality exposed in the OOBE and you need to add it to the UI, but a good chunk of them have it by default.

Both iOS and Android also feature extensive sharing functionality in their major browsers, and these go far beyond just email with apps that integrate the sharing API into them, e.g. I can share a URL directly to a contact on Element, bypassing email entirely, but likewise, on the same menu I can choose to email it to someone.

Aah yes that is pretty cool. Puts the link in the body and the title in the subject.

Well should have used that more!

I do like a board which I can search later though and also multiple boards for different friends and family etc.

[hammyhavoc]

Board is admittedly very useful! This is exactly what I've had in mind for tracking a 'reading list' of sorts in reference to a conversation I've had with someone for both our reference.

[ishanr]

Yes exactly. Our company works remotely so often times I want to share something that I have read with my friends and talk about it later.

Do you see yourself using sudopad then?

Anything which would make it even better?

[hammyhavoc]

Absolutely! I think being able to host it locally on our own server resources and domain would be nice for not having the uptime in the hands of a third-party. Not that I don't trust that it'll be there, but as a way of guaranteeing availability and long-term permanence of data, is quite important.

Offline browser caching would be nice, even if that needs to happen via a browser extension, which might make sharing even easier, especially if you could pick a pad to add it to.
