📱 Mobile-Specific Features

Native Integrations

// Share Extension Integration
const handleIncomingURL = (url: string) => {
  if (url.includes('instagram.com')) {
    navigateToDownload(url);
  }
};

// QR Scanner Implementation
const QRScanner = () => {
  const [hasPermission, setHasPermission] = useState(null);
  const [scanned, setScanned] = useState(false);
  
  // Camera permission and QR detection logic
};

// Background Downloads
const BackgroundDownloader = {
  queue: [],
  process: async () => {
    // Background task registration
    // Queue management for multiple downloads
  }
};

Offline-First Architecture
