Integration with other board game apps #56

There's a bunch of apps dedicated to specific board games. For example there are ones for Betrayal at House on the Hill, Munchkin, 7 wonders, Dominion, and Sushi Go. It'd be really cool if those apps could broadcast an intent, and start logging a play, with some of the fields filled in.

In addition, it'd be cool if the reverse was possible, and from this app, we could click a button and open the corresponding app for the game.

Maybe those apps could "log" a play here via "Share" Android feature? I don't know how's that done in Android app world but you could "make" ("register"?) BGG app as an app that you can share via. Then in such other app one could hit "Share" → (this will generate a code, e.g. an object with variables or a predefined string) → then choose BGG app, which will recognise and parse the code, then open a "Log play" and pre-fill the fields…
