Ask HN: Show a webpage's metadata in a popup when you hover over its link?

4 pointsby shash7almost 5 years ago
Hey folks I&#x27;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.<p>I&#x27;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:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;nuxt-community&#x2F;awesome-nuxt)<p>Would you be interested in using something like this? Here&#x27;s a small preview: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;linkpreviews.io

Sure. It would be cool if it read the URL&#x27;s JSON-LD &#x2F; OpenGraph structured data then displayed a thumbnail image. Maybe show a summary of outgoing links and incoming links for SEO analysis.
