Enhanced Rich Previews for Telegram/Discord/Open Graph

Open sermelipharo opened this issue 4 months ago • 2 comments

Describe the Feature

I would love to see enhanced rich previews for BlueSky posts in messaging platforms like Telegram and Discord, as well as Open Graph-supported platforms (e.g., Twitter, Facebook). This would make sharing BlueSky posts much more engaging and visually cohesive, similar to the way FixTweet Mosaic handles it.

Key Elements

  1. Rich Previews in Telegram/Discord:

    • Automatically generate rich previews for shared BlueSky posts that display all included images, not just the first one.
    • Support for Telegram Instant View for seamless browsing post+gallery within app, creating a fluid experience for users who don’t want to leave the chat platform.
  2. Multi-Image Display:

    • If a BlueSky post contains multiple images, display all of them in a preview combined. This ensures users get a full visual representation of the post's content without losing context could be available in N+1 image.
  3. Enhanced Open Graph Tags Handling:

    • Although Open Graph markup is already in place, it would be great if all images in a post could be included in the preview, not just the first one.
    • Additionally, for posts that require login to view, a preview with a prompt inviting users to open the post as a BlueSky user would be ideal. This would make the experience more consistent and encourage new users to engage directly with BlueSky.

Benefits

  • Improved engagement by making BlueSky content more accessible and visually appealing on other platforms.
  • Enhanced user experience by allowing users to preview full content without leaving their current platform.
  • Greater discoverability and appeal for BlueSky posts in group chats and other social media spaces.

Thank you for considering this enhancement, as it would greatly enrich the experience of sharing BlueSky content across multiple platforms!
