Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori/issues/189

Since bookmarklet support has been dropped favor of the extension (#180), it be nice to have a fall back for any other scenario where the extension doesn't work (other browsers, locked down browser environments, etc).

Simply accepting a URL parm at the root page that automatically opens the Add bookmark dialog and pre-populates the URL from the parameter value would allow for this.

https://my-shiori-url.com?add_url=https%3A%2F%2Fgoogle.com

I may add a PR for this, if you think it's a reasonable addition. It should be able to be done entirely in the frontend Vue code.

Bookmarklet support is important to me. It's simpler, and much more widely supported, than browser extensions.

I don't have a strong opinion on what the URL should be but #84 with commit 4b939379e8 introduced /submit?url= - see:

This was a fallback for non-https installations (I'm personally running a private instance withOUT https).

I'd recommend adopting the previous URL (and bookmarklet) support.

Was that removed? That's definitely going back in. Looks like it worked perfectly.

A GET-based submission endpoint is essential, imo. It allows you to integrate Shiori with almost anything.
