Fetch submitted urls and set metadata from html returned #4

Open kennygrant opened 9 years ago

Consider Fetching submitted urls and set some metadata like summary, and possibly author and pub date, using the html meta tags in the returned page.

That would make RSS feeds more useful, and could possibly be used for display in html lists or on the show page too.

This is now done to some extent by the new bookmarklet (instead of fetching this lets you set this data when still on the page to be posted). Not sure if I should add fetching too but should consider it.

We now do this for github urls at least. Could consider expanding to use the html metatags.
