Revision history [back]

Simplest you case. You are using Tweetian or Friends and want to save a link to some read-it-later service, or share to a not built-in social network (Russian vkontakte or Chinese Weibo) or even to a built-in app such as Messaging or Email. Or you implement a whatsapp client and want to send photos from both local hardrive and dropbox/box/picasa/whatever-the-user-has.

To my understanding right now all of these use cases are simply not possible (except for starting email/sms with a given text via openUrlExternally).

What are the Sailfish longer term plans regarding it?
- Android-like intents to provide whichever service to whichever clients + few standard intents?
- iOS-like hard coded intents to the known applications that support it?
- Something Linux standard?
