Allow previewing of any URL to support web clippers

Open patrickwolf opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

Would be awesome if any URL could be previewed ie www.cnn.com and not only !(www.cnn.com)

This would allow to see previews from the web clippers which would be beyond amazing: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/workflowy-clipper/pmolhkonbppmihdpjmgclnclfppjndom https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/workflowy-web-clipper/jgapgnoonjgchibeajphaejhabcnklbn/related

hey @patrickwolf! thanks for your message and sorry for the late response :)

In the begging, I considered implementing preview logic exactly how you describe it. The reason why I decided to go with !(URL) option is when you have a lot of links it's difficult to manage and see all of them at once, they're just taking so much space, so I decided to go with on-demand option.

After all, it might be nice as well to add an option for the user to config the way of matching a URL.
