"Share product" feature

[monsieurtanuki]

If I scan or find an interesting product, I would like to share it with my friends: "eh, try this one!"
My initial thought was to add a button to the product page, like "Share", that will send a text that contains the OFF site URL.
Btw I don't know if the deep link is implemented so far.
There could be more elaborate ways of sharing product, like open read-only lists : "Top 5 - Cyril Lignac's favorite magrets". Or just an access to my friends' open product lists.

It's exactly the type of viral features we have been thinking about. :) Being able to share small lists of products, ranked using one's preferences. So if you have a list on your app, you could get a URL to the OFF site that would show the same list.

Is the "list of products/barcodes" already implemented on the website? (which URL?)

For a single product share, that could be done with a floating button - but I think a bottom navigation bar would make more sense, as we may have several interesting actions on a product.

Floating Action Button: share

BottomNavigationBar: add, share

In a first approach I'll implement a simple single product url sharing.

Multiple products url is coming soon: openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-server#4802

@stephanegigandet Cool, tell me when the multiple products url is available!

Random thoughts: I assume the next step would include more metadata, like whose list it is or the name of the list.
Like a Youtube channel: "Sabrina's delicious vegan foods": "top 5 hummus", "100% vegan chocolate", ...

Next step: once the multi-products URL is ready, add a "share" button in the product list page.

I've just added a "grocery" button on the product list page. Not as sophisticated as a list of barcodes from which you could get all the product data, but quite useful when shopping ;)
[Edit]: (btw, in #152)
