Twitter bridge - attach a thumbnail and a short description from the link from the tweet
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. In the feed, you cannot see the thumbnail and description of the link from the tweet.
Describe the solution you'd like
I want to have a view like on twitter, e.g:
...i.e. that I see: "Alwane: Extract Colors From Any Website - https://alwane.io (Paste in any website URL or use existing CSS code to generate various palettes that you can view as CSS or SCSS.)"
...but also:
...and: "alwane.io Extract colors from any website Extract colors from any website or an existing CSS code, regroup/order colors, then generate a palette including a CSS/Sass file."
Describe alternatives you've considered Nothing can be done. You have to click on each link to check the link.
Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.
I interpret this is a preview feature of included links.
@dvikan "I interpret this is a preview feature of included links." Yes.
Unless I am misunderstanding, this would require adding to the Bridge the ability to parse absolutely any arbitrary website. I don't see this as a reasonable request at all. If someone can explain a technically simple/easy way to do this, I can try adding it to the Twitter API v2 Bridge (PR #2471 ).
Nitter has a Link-preview feature for tweets with a preview image and preview text. I don't know how they are doing it, technically. I know that they also have RSS-Feeds for usernames and a preview image but strangely there is no preview text in the RSS-feed. So technically it is possible and maybe the Nitter dev. can enlighten us how it works.
@quickwick The developer of Nitter responded with following on how he has implemented link preview. He included some code in the above mentioned issue 679 .
just parse card object of a tweet response
Turns out this info is included in the data returned by the Twitter V2 API, so I have added this to the TwitterV2 Bridge.
