Android: expose app as a target for Android "Share..." function

If I understand correctly, Workflowy does not expose itself as a target for Android "Share..." function. I mean this API https://developer.android.com/training/sharing/receive

When I faced that issue the first time (trying to send url from mobile browser to my Workflowy list), I virtually could not believe that Workflowy does not support this handy function. IMHO, that is a must-have for a note capturing app.

  Search Google Play for "Copy to WorkFlowy".... still a manual paste, but way better than nothing.

  @rawbytz , thank you for mentioning it.

  Actually I've already seen this app, but it has few downsides:

  - it's a 3rd party app without any warranties of proper personal data use

  - it only copies text to the clipboard and opens Workflowy, so user has to paste manually just like you said

   

  So this application may be used as a temporary hack, but I can not imagine any reason why the official Workflowy client does not support that directly.

  In particular, I'd like to specify a default node under which "shared" URLs get added. Effectively, I'd like an inbox in Workflowy for URLs I want to review later and possibly move elsewhere in Workflowy.
