I’m not sure what benefit this has honestly. Can’t you just paste the text into your provider of choice and share as you like ;). Unless I had an in game browser for the shares but that’d be too unwieldy in my opinion

I think it would allow for easier sharing instead of having to copy the while long json, that would just have to copy a same url

That’s true but suddenly the mod requires an internet connection to function fully. :/

Not necessarily Dire, you don't need to connect to said Services in Singleplayer.
If the Socket creation fails, then the user just can't do it...

Still I agree that this would be way too much effort for too little gain - where's the Problem with copy/pasting to one's own Provider of choice: just open a new browser window and you're ready to go...
