Improve room code ergonomics
Closed this issue · 4 comments
It's hard to share the code, and there are situations when a room code isn't really needed at all.
- add an option to disable room codes
- implement a share sheet for the room code to make it easier to share
I also posted in #4, and I think this might be a similar request here.
I'd like a way to send a link to a specific room. For example, I send my wife a text with a link to http://192.168.1.94:8000/XXXX and she can just click the link and type in her name. Or even better may be an option to send a link like http://192.168.1.94:8000/XXXX#wife or http://192.168.1.94:8000/XXXX?user=wife or whatever the proper formatting would be. Obviously, this would create a bit more work on my end, but I think reducing friction for certain users would make life a lot easier in the long run.
Hey Patrick,
The current version does not support deep linking to a room code.
I'm working on a new version that includes both deep linking and sharing.
It will look something like this:
Sorry for the late reply, work has been busy. This looks great! Thank you
This is fixed in 2.0.0-alpha.1, with the caveat that:
- Tapping the share icon will copy the current URL (with a
roomName=<roomName>query parameter) - Sharing will not work for non-HTTPS websites on iOS (I will add a message about this)
