Hello.

I'm excited to share a new, simple API for sharing on the web called navigator.share! It's available in Chrome Dev Channel on Android and allows websites to connect with native apps for sharing. This is a step towards a better inter-app communication system, simplifying sharing and potentially extending to other app interactions. You can try it now on my blog by clicking the share button. I've updated my blog to use it, falling back to my existing solution if the API isn't available. Check out the ChromeStatus page and other linked resources for more information and give us feedback!

TL;DR It's a long story; I learnt a lot.
