> Instance-agnostic share page for the Fediverse.
**[Share₂Fedi]** allows you to share stuff on Mastodon, GoToSocial, Pleroma, and other federated social networks, instance-agnostic. Just type in the post text and the instance URL, and click Post!
Or, open this page with the prefilled `text` URL parameter—it will be automatically inserted into the text field. The same goes for the `instance` URL parameter. This can be used to build custom share buttons for the federated social networks:
```html
<a href="https://s2f.kytta.dev/?text=Hello%20world!&instance=https%3A%2F%2Fmastodon.xyz">
Share on mastodon.xyz
</a>
```
The instance URL can be saved in your `localStorage` to be automatically appended if used later—handy!
## Hosting
### One-click Vercel deploy
For now, **Share₂Fedi** is vendor-locked to run on [Vercel](https://vercel.com/). To deploy it yourself, you can use the following button:
[![Deploy with Vercel](https://vercel.com/button)](https://vercel.com/new/clone?repository-url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fkytta%2Ftoot)
<!-- TODO: update the selfhosting instructions -->
<!--
### Host it yourself
Self-hosting **Share₂Fedi** outside of Vercel requires some extra setup:
1. Make sure you have got Node.js v12 or later as well as pnpm installed
2. Build the static part of toot:
```sh
pnpm install # to install dependencies
pnpm run build # to build the website
```
3. Run the backend server for the form:
```sh
node api/toot.js
```
or if you want to run the process in the background:
```sh
pm2 start api/toot.js --watch --ignore-watch="node_modules"
```
> You can find a summary for pm2 at: https://pm2.keymetrics.io/docs/usage/quick-start/
4. Set up webserver
1. Apache
```apacheconf
DocumentRoot "path_to_toot/public"
ProxyPass "/api/toot" "http://localhost:8000/"
```
2. Nginx
```nginxconf
root path_to_toot/public;
index.html;
location /api/toot {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8000/;
}
```
3. Caddy
```caddy
root * path_to_toot/public;
try_files index.html
handle_path /api/toot {
reverse_proxy localhost:8000
}
```
