[x] Share URLs with app to create source-based justifications
[ ] Share URL with app to search justifications (blocked by #353)
[x] View justifications page
[x] WebView showing source (no highlighting)

Options include:

Flutter (cross platform, supports sharing)
React Native:
- Start with a bare workflow so that we can use a native share extension
- https://github.com/meedan/react-native-share-menu/
- Later when Expo supports customizing the native runtime during development, we might switch to a managed project
- https://expo.canny.io/feature-requests/p/share-extension-ios-share-intent-android
- "Later in 2021, the Expo Development Client ... will enable developers to customize the runtime of their managed projects in development too. This will open up the possibility to install any React Native library in your Expo managed project." https://blog.expo.io/expo-managed-workflow-in-2021-d1c9b68aa10
Roll our own iOS temporarily

The primary benefits of a mobile app are:

notifications
share target

As of iOS 16.4, PWAs can receive notifications. But there isn't any recent activity on adding Web Share Target to WebKit (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194593)
