basically, Twitter started shadowbanning substack, preventing its links from displaying the preview card. This tool defeats this censorship by copying the HTML tags into a new website. Allows anyone to paste in a substack link and get a new share-able URL.
I wrote it about here, it got surprisingly popular. There are ~500 articles proxied through it, and the most popular one has half a million views on the tweet.
this is an application that I already made, but documenting it here because it would have been a good student project.
