iOS app sharing gives out unfriendly URL #21

When I share an article on iOS to another app, say Telegram, this is what shows up:

http://hn.premii.com/#/article/11219208

Hacker News Read Hacker News articles and comments with this clean, simple, modern looking and fast performing universal app.

Here's a screenshot: image

This isn't very user-friendly as there is no preview: no article title, no article-specific snippet. This would work a lot better if the app didn't share URLs to the premii web UI (this is slower for recipients anyway). Instead, the app should share the standard URL, e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11219208

At least, it would be great if we had a setting to use the standard Hacker News URLs.
