has someone already tried to re-build the press this functionality for the block editor?

in some kind, yes. Felix Arntz made wordpress.org/plugins/share-ta…, which should be half the way

@macmanx Not any real headway to note. I’d love to update it… I’m the closest thing it has to a maintainer and would gladly accept PRs in that direction. wordpress/press-this on GH.

@kraft @macmanx is there a plan with the plugin? is it still worth to keep it up to date? Most of the changes are from 7 years ago!?!
in reply to Matthias Pfefferle

@macmanx I don’t know usage information. The work I helped with 7 years ago was to remove it from Core because energy needed to be focused on Gutenberg. It could be worth it, especially if switching it to Gutenberg. It might need to be a separate editor, just a method to take from a bookmarklet and a block that grabs a remote URL, parsing it. (1/2)

I think it could be a very interesting quick post vector for social posts/activitypub, but needs a champion who feels passionate about spending time on it. (2/2)
