[TW5] Render/Embed Rich Content Summeries for External Links

[TJ Walker]

I'd like to hear thoughts from folks on how the following might or might not be a good feature of TW. Thanks.

I'm thinking of how sharing a Spotify/SoundCloud link in Slack results in an embed player right there and how pasting a link to just about any page into Google Keep results in a little card with a thumbnail, title, and excerpt being rendered at the bottom of the note.

I think someone would have to write a plugin to make that possible.

Something very close to that can happen with the tiddlyclip plugin using the screenshot feature. If you narrow your screen to just the parts that you want, only that bit shows up in the resulting screenshot. The URL of the site along with a screenshot is created. The image is embedded, but you could eventually externalize it.

TJ,

I just released RichLinks, inspired by your question here. Of course TW should feature this.

I included the soundcloud track you ask for also. But not sure if it plays via embedded links unless one is registered or something.
