# [benatwork] Yesterday I published an indieweb-aware version of a "share to..." / AddThis-like tool. One of the things it does is look for header metadata like `<link rel="share-url" href="https://werd.io/share/?text=
{text}
">`. It was a first draft, and I'd like to socialize that idea -- what _should_ it look like to advertise a share intent on a platform using microformats?# [benatwork] (There was an attempt over a decade ago called OExchange, which used data stored in `.well-known`. I'm okay with supporting it, but it never really took off, and I feel like we could do something simpler.)

# [Paul_Robert_Ll] I was just about to ask about this… have you thought about looking for a `share_target` in a web manifest? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Manifest/share_target
# [Paul_Robert_Ll] Not sure if that might be misappropriating that property, but it gives the same information that you’d require to create a share link, I believe.
# [benatwork] Ooh. That’s a neat idea. I’ll take a look!

# Loqi A web action is the interface and user experience of taking a specific discrete action, across the web, from one site to another site or application, like a cross-site follow button, or a reply button on a post, which when activated, allows you to reply using your own site instead of the site you are viewing https://indieweb.org/web-actions
# [benatwork] Actually, yeah - I may be able to at least consume the indie-action HTML if it's present and use it as a heuristic

# [tantek] [benatwork] I think we may need both, that is, both the markup to indicate "this is a webaction button that means this particular 'verb'" so a browser or add-on can upgrade its UI to handle what/where the user wants to take that action (e.g. to their personal site), and a discovery mechanism for endpoints like the rel value you propose
