Show HN: Send as POST – share photos and links via POST request on iOS/macOS
- andrewpbrett 9y agoI made this! More background here: https://andybrett.com/writing/send-as-post https://andybrett.com/writing/send-as-post
- fiatjaf 9y agoThis is great. I wish there were more of this. "Sharing" is only good if you can share through standard methods. Call APIs when sharing, share to arbitrary servers etc.
- andrewpbrett 9y agoThanks for the kind words! That was definitely my intention with making this. It’s open source as well so let me know if you have any feedback or feel free to just fork/PR.
- fiatjaf 9y agoOh, I have zero experience in iOS stuff. I would like to do something for Android, but my experience there is less than 1. Maybe I'll try something in the future, then I'll come back here.
- fiatjaf 9y agoThere could be a counterparty app that run a webserver to accept these POST requests and save the images. If the parameters were editable people could use the app to share to imgur and other sites alike.
- andrewpbrett 9y agoYeah this is what I wrote to receive the images: https://github.com/andrewpbrett/admin.andybrett.com https://github.com/andrewpbrett/admin.andybrett.com
- fiatjaf 9y agoOh, yes, sorry, I saw that. But now I was thinking about a mobile app that you could run and get an URL, then your friend could share the image to your URL and you would get the image in your phone. But I'm just throwing thoughts on the air.
- stephenr 9y agoNice work. I like the simplicity. That its OSS and thus can be (hopefully) used to build a more streamlined (ie preset URL) version is a nice bonus!
- andrewpbrett 9y agoThanks! It currently does save and prefill URLs but you’re right, it’d be easy to hardcode the URL if you always want to use the same one.
