I’m very happy to have the sharing extension in iOS. I only wish that it didn’t involve so many steps.
Here’s the current process:
-
Highlight text to clip, press
Share
. -
Press the Dynalist action button.
-
Press
Post
. -
(The Dynalist app opens.) Press Add.
-
Now you’re in Dynalist, so you have to return to the app you were in.
Contrast this with the process of sharing to Pocket: Share, Pocket, done. Crucially, you haven’t been removed from the app you were in.
Can we eliminate steps 3 - 5 above? Select, Share, Dynalist: done.
I don’t need an opportunity to edit what’s going into my inbox - I can edit later in Dynalist. I certainly don’t need two opportunities (steps 3 and 4). And I shouldn’t be redirected to the Dynalist app - in fact there shouldn’t by any reason to load the app at all, since you can just make an API call to add to inbox.
