accessibility in Android : add PWA capabilities ? #13

Since you said in #12 that you were working on a new version, I jump on the occasion to drop some thought on global accessibility.

I recently switched to the Vanadium browser on my phone (it's a Chrome clone akin to Chromium). Vanadium doesn't support chrome plugins at all. But it does support Progressive Web Applications. I recently shaped a website into a PWA and the process is amazingly light - particularily using vite-plugin-pwa. I don't recall altering my code in the transition.

PWA in turn are supposed to support the share_target API, which lets a PWA be a target icon in Android's share menu. So in short, FavBox could be an Android share target, which would let any app share an URL to be bookmarked.

To be honest I could not have the share_target example apps display an icon in Android's share menu, be it with Chrome in a vanilla Android 14 or with Vanadium on latest GrapheneOS. I'll file an issue at Vanadium because a) they're not Google and b) they upstream bugfixes to Chrome. I may link it here for the sake of completeness.

Anyway that was just a broad idea shared out of enthusiasm for this pretty recent functionality. Take it or leave it !
