Show HN: EmbedX – Bring back beautiful embeds on 𝕏/Twitter (embedx.app)
6 points by romanzipp 953 days ago
We were inspired to make this project because 𝕏/Twitter recently removed titles & description from link embeds in posts. It felt like much information has been lost and we want to bring back transparency to users.

Of course this is not limited to 𝕏/Twitter since you can fully control the displayed text and customize the embeds to match your brand CI.

As a tech stack we used Laravel (Backend/API), Next.js (Frontend) and node workers generating the images with WebGL - provisioned via Hashi Nomad.

Do you have any feedback or comments? Please let me know, I'm happy to answer your questions!

Nice, a Twitter add on where you are not at the mercy of their api.
Yep, was a blessing! I had my fair share of problems with Twitter Dev accounts
