Android: Add Firefox-style quickshare icon to Send To menu option #408

The latest Firefox beta version on Android adds something they call Quickshare to the Share menu item (equivalent to Send To in Newsblur).

Alongside the text it adds an icon for the last service you used when sharing. If you want to share to that service again you just click the icon (removing the need to open the built-in Android sharing dialog).

If I have found this very useful as I pretty much only ever share to Pocket and would like to see something similar in Newsblur.

Sure, that sounds like a fine addition.

I looked into how this is implemented in Firefox (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=869123) and don't think it is worth the effort. It seems to require a lot of custom menu code.

With the addition of the send to overlay you can share with 2 clicks rather than 3 so you would no longer save any clicks. Closing for now.
