Hi, I'm Vittorio, and I'm improving the Internet browsing. However, I'm not building another web browser. As a big Wikipedia & Google Docs user, I liked how a minor addition of link previews on hover positively enhanced the UX. My goal is to similarly improve the UX of other websites & the Internet overall. Generating link previews on hover at scale fast is quite a problem. However, I solved similar scalability problems at MS. With a lot of serverless & caching - Linkz.ai was born.Linkz.ai live link previews allow website owners, bloggers & publishers to maximize visitor retention. Each hyperlink gets a popup with a link summary; And for hyperlinks to videos, rich media, articles & files - Linkz.ai will automatically extract & show hyperlinked content or iframe inside your website. The goal is to provide visitors with enough extra context to keep them on the original website.As a result, end-users are following fewer links, increasing retention for website owners, reducing tab-overload for themselves, and making the Internet greener :)PS To address the elephant in the room, there is no AI in the product at the moment. I know it contradicts with the name; I just believe it adds intelligence to a website that installs the product.[1] <a href="https://linkz.ai" rel="nofollow">https://linkz.ai</a>[2] Demo: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qr9WErZCjVY" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qr9WErZCjVY</a>

It's good! I actually just went through the signup process, and indeed, it took me 2 minutes to install and see the previews on my blog.I don't know whether your pricing will work for a casual blogger, but the product is interesting.For bigger publishers, it's definitely easier to justify the expense, especially if you can show some ROI on increasing ad revenues because of better retention.

I've built something similar before for my previous company's wiki, even before Google Docs introduced their link preview. It was quite well received, and I think it is still used there. I like your implementation, and I think that extra logic that you have on click - extracting embed & displaying it within the website - is quite smart!

I saw similar tools as browser extensions, but I think it's quite smart to package this for the website owners to buy & install. This way, it's more clear how to monetise and sustain this. Have you considered packaging this as a browser extension?

Reminded me of the Arc browser and its AI 5-second link preview feature. When I saw Arc's implementation, I thought, why do you need AI when you can save compute and just show OpenGraph info. I guess this is what you are doing with Linkz.ai.

Congrats on good execution! This solution looks quite unique from a product perspective, though it makes sense that it should exist. I wish you luck! I know it is quite hard to market something that people might not be looking for.

There was another HN thread today about Google Scholar PDF Reader - they introduced a citations preview in a popup. Question. Can Linkz.ai be integrated into the PDF-viewer?
