Improvement in Android App.

Feature Requests

  1. Improvement in sharing: I am using an RSS reader called Inoreader on the mobile app, and whenever I want to save an article, I click on the sharing function in the app and select Memex. However, Memex does not save the page; it just opens and closes while sharing. I can only share pages via the mobile browser (Edge).

  2. Ability to share selected text: I would like to be able to select text and share it with Memex. It should automatically determine the link of the selected text and save the text to Memex under this link.

  3. Ability to annotate a webpage in Memex and, if possible, in other apps: I would like to select text and click on a popup that has the options to highlight or add a note, similar to what happens when I select text in a browser and a popup appears. For this, Memex can be kept overlayed above all apps (with an option to enable or disable it). If not, I should be able to open the webpage in the Memex reader and perform annotations. Currently, it takes me to the Edge browser to annotate, which I can't do in the mobile browser.

    1. I can have a look into how innoreader handles giving information to the share-to process. This is unfortunately very app dependent and so not sure if we can get the url

    2. Unfortunately this is not possible due to the limitations of the share-to process. You can only get the selected text OR the url. which kind of sucks.

    3. You can annotate webpages - Go to the app when you saved a page and open the page from there. However for some pages it will still fail, in particular behind login walls.

      We're already planning to improve that in a way that you can completely natively annotate in your web browser.
