@DavidDarnes I wrote a bit about using it with EchoFeed on my microblog: https://weblog.anniegreens.lol/2024/04/adding-link-previews-to-echoes-on-my-microblog

@DavidDarnes real cool!
Any chance to have versions that serve the metadata from the including site?

@polx sorry but I’m not sure what you mean?

@DavidDarnes The toot was relayed by @zachleat so I would expect a few jamstackers would go around.

As far I understood your cool component, an API machine is used by the client to create the previews' input.

I was wondering if this could be generated at build-time, fetching from the API (or the page or...) when you output the HTML.

@polx @zachleat it sure can, but this on the client by design to lean into progressive enhancement. If you’re wanting to do this at build time with @eleventy I have a plugin for that https://github.com/daviddarnes/eleventy-plugin-unfurl

@DavidDarnes Nice! That seems useful for a links collection!

@anders @DavidDarnes i love this. but be ready to realise the absolute mess of meta data across the web 😱

DavidDarnes, 1 month ago

@flamed @anders true! But the APIs you can use this do normalise it all, for example https://microlink.io
