Since Clipboard support is shite, and I don't want to use flash, the solution I'm thinking is this:

1) Display the ResultModal. Pass the log entry along as a prop. 2) Render an input field at the bottom, with the log entry text as its value 3) focus() and select() the element.

That way, the user can long-press the text and copy to clipboard.

Edit: This is how Evernote handles sharing links.

Currently, you can copy + paste the modal, not awesome, but it works.

Future plans means this one's not important anymore.
