📄 Description

fixes #252

Given that you have cobalt installed on your device as a PWA, this will allow cobalt to show up in your device's share menu so that when you're in another app like YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, or TikTok, you can share the video link to cobalt and this will launch the PWA with the link field pre-populated with what you shared.

I tested that this works with Edge (122.0.2365.92) on Windows 11 (22621.3296) and Chrome (123.0.6312.40) on Android 14 (One UI 6.0)
