Well done! Nice to play with. Seeing it in context of each platform's default interface is *chefs kiss* a nice touch.
- It sounds like meta-crawlers for each platform might behave differently, and I noticed previews don't match what I see elsewhere, 0/2 in the 2 I know well, WhatsApp & Discord.
- It would be good to report redirects that happen in link following.
- Needs target url in URL query params or fragment.
https://linkpreview.xyz/#example.com https://linkpreview.xyz/#example.com
https://linkpreview.xyz/#url=https://example.com https://linkpreview.xyz/#url=https://example.com
https://linkpreview.xyz/?url=https://example.com https://linkpreview.xyz/?url=https://example.com
Without data specifiable in URL it's a cute tool on a web page, whereas with data controlled by URL it's a native, shareable web utility. Just as cool URLs don't change, on the web URLs are the API.
