I think it would be cool to have this be a library that displays various types of content other than articles as well. For example, I saw a cool concept for a movie preview that looks very similar to what is currently implemented for articles:

preview

It would be very cool if we were to supply a tmdb link to it, then it would pull up the movie or tv info instead of an article. The TMDb work is something I've already done with https://github.com/klinker24/series-track-android, so it would be quite easy to bring the library over and display the information here.

Just something for future consideration, not something that I want to do now.

@klinker24 thoughts about this? Think it would be worth it do consider other services or just stick to the articles for now? Don't want too much feature creep.

klinker24 commented 8 years ago

Think it would be awesome, but let's get the article out the door first! Hoping to have it done soon with all the apps and then we can push it out

klinker41 commented 8 years ago

Agreed. I think the library itself has everything that I want in it for an initial release.

I guess this is more of a feature request then, as link previews would be much more practical than in-browser stuff for things like Twitter and Instagram posts. It's one of the things I miss from Apple's SMS app.
