Pull Request Overview

This PR adds share functionality to the podcasts page, allowing users to share podcast links through the native Web Share API or clipboard fallback.

• Implements a new handleShare function that utilizes the Web Share API when available
• Adds click event handling to the existing share button to trigger the sharing functionality
• Provides clipboard fallback for browsers that don't support the Web Share API

[Copilot]

The clipboard fallback in the catch block should handle potential clipboard API failures. The clipboard.writeText() method can also throw errors if clipboard access is denied or unavailable.

[Copilot]

This clipboard operation should be wrapped in a try-catch block to handle cases where clipboard access is denied or the API is unavailable.

[Copilot]

The catch block silently handles errors without informing the user. Consider adding user feedback (e.g., toast notification) when the Web Share API fails and fallback to clipboard is used, or when clipboard operations fail.

Suggested change

	navigator.clipboard.writeText(podcast.spotifyUrl);
	}
	} else {
	navigator.clipboard.writeText(podcast.spotifyUrl);
	try {
	await navigator.clipboard.writeText(podcast.spotifyUrl);
	alert('Sharing failed. Link copied to clipboard instead.');
	} catch (clipboardErr) {
	alert('Sharing failed and copying to clipboard also failed.');
	}
	}
	} else {
	try {
	await navigator.clipboard.writeText(podcast.spotifyUrl);
	alert('Link copied to clipboard.');
	} catch (clipboardErr) {
	alert('Copying to clipboard failed.');
	}

[Copilot]

The clipboard operation lacks error handling. The writeText method can fail (e.g., when clipboard permissions are denied) and should be wrapped in a try-catch block with appropriate user feedback.

Suggested change

	navigator.clipboard.writeText(podcast.spotifyUrl);
	}
	} else {
	navigator.clipboard.writeText(podcast.spotifyUrl);
	try {
	await navigator.clipboard.writeText(podcast.spotifyUrl);
	alert('Podcast link copied to clipboard!');
	} catch (clipboardErr) {
	alert('Failed to copy podcast link to clipboard.');
	}
	}
	} else {
	try {
	await navigator.clipboard.writeText(podcast.spotifyUrl);
	alert('Podcast link copied to clipboard!');
	} catch (clipboardErr) {
	alert('Failed to copy podcast link to clipboard.');
	}
