- Proposal for using `rel="share-url"` to standardize sharing intents across different platforms.
- Different social networks have varied sharing URL structures (e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn, BlueSky).
- ShareOpenly can handle most major and decentralized platforms but allows custom share intents via meta tags.
- Example meta tags for platforms like Facebook, Lemmy, LinkedIn, Mastodon, and BlueSky provided.
- Challenges with platforms that only accept text (e.g., Mastodon, BlueSky) and proposed solutions.
- Process for adding new link types to the HTML specification involves writing a formal specification.
- Questions posed about the viability and potential adoption of the `rel="share-url"` standard.
- Reference to a past poll on the usage of share buttons for additional context.
