8 years ago Since some of these (Diaspora, hubzilla )support posting through the FF share API it might be worth considering how one could leverage this existing work. It appears to be a fairly trivial interface and it works well for decentralised services. We just click an 'activate' link on our server and the browser stores the necessary endpoints/metadata of which a template for the post url and an icon are the important bits; along with some author/version stuff. This submits through a custom event handler called 'ActivateSocialFeature' which takes the data and stores/registers it. When one clicks a service to share it pulls up essentially an iframe with the "current url" put into the template.
Originally thought out as OnlineBookmarks.
An online sharing plugin to post URLs to social networks such as diaspora*, GNU social, Hubzilla, pump.io and proprietary ones, and online bookmarks managers such as Bookie, Shaarli and proprietary ones.
I don't yet see how to handle blog but maybe also for blogs such as Jekyll, Nanoc, WordPress and proprietary ones.

I might write this plugin myself, based on ImageFinder, though this plugin would need to have a way to select custom servers (in case of decentralized platforms) and usernames.
