Ask HN: Show a webpage's metadata in a popup when you hover over its link?
Hey folks I'm trying to validate an idea for a browser extension which shows a popup when you hover over a link. This popup shows metadata of that webpage including comment count, followers, following, etc and other metrics.
I've been working on this for a few months and I enjoy using it. It has saved a lot of my time browsing large lists of links(Eg: https://github.com/nuxt-community/awesome-nuxt)
Would you be interested in using something like this?

- moxylush 6y agoSure. It would be cool if it read the URL's JSON-LD / OpenGraph structured data then displayed a thumbnail image. Maybe show a summary of outgoing links and incoming links for SEO analysis.
- shash7 6y agoYep, it does exactly that right now. It doesn't show anything SEO related although with enough demand I can make that work too. Checkout this preview here: https://linkpreview.io https://linkpreview.io
