Link Preview Manifest: A Proposal for the Fediverse in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] yoasif@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

One thing that I neglected to mention is that since the SRI hashes are calculated, previews can be cached by peers other than the originating host - since they are verifiable, anyone can pass them along and the client can verify the payload.

Not something I really fleshed out in discovery, but if there is interest, that might make it more production ready.

Okay - it would have been nice to learn where the proposal fails, but I understand that I can't access your expertise for free. Take it easy!

It really feels like you didn't read my post. I specifically called out caching as a concern, and even if we see more requests, they will be cheap to serve.

Starting in Firefox version 142, Mozilla released a “Link Previews” feature.

While the feature is problematic, commenters pointed out that some previews are helpful – e.g. on Wikipedia, where a preview will appear when people hover over a wiki-linked page.

Other commenters pondered about some minimal way to replicate this elsewhere, and it seemed to be worth investigation. Read on as I propose an enhancement to the Fediverse (and maybe even web standards) to make Link Previews great: the Link Preview Manifest.
