Ask HN: Can we add link previews to Hacker News links?

[benzinschleuder]

I have some chat groups where we share/save HN links (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14731830 for example). Unfortunately, the article names aren't shown as a link preview and the URL doesn't have a text.

It would be awesome if it showed a link preview with the article title in the chat, for example via Open Graph Protocol (ogp.me).

It's also really lightweight. Just a meta tag:

  <meta property="og:title" content="The Title" />

Please let me know what you think!

If nobody responds here you can email [e-mail] to reach the admins directly.

Done, thanks!
