Link Preview in RSS -feed - text missing

[hermann-san]

Hi there, In Nitter there is a link preview for a Tweet and it has an image and text. However, when I generate a RSS-Feed for that Twitter user and check in my RSS Reader, then the preview text is missing. I wonder if it is possible to include the preview text in the RSS-Feed as well. It has valuable information about the link and helps deciding whether it's worth clicking on it or not. Thanks.

BTW. I wonder if you can provide some information on how you've implemented the link preview feature in Nitter. The developer of RSS-Bridge is considering to implement that feature as well but would need so technical idea on how to do it. Thanks again https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/issues/2430

Here (just parse card object of a tweet response ) : https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/blob/5f31e86e0e8578377fa7d5aeb9631bbb2d35ef1e/src/parser.nim#L132-L187

Yes. Just add card.title and card.text here https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/blob/5f31e86e0e8578377fa7d5aeb9631bbb2d35ef1e/src/views/rss.nimf#L51-L56

@jackyzy823 thanks for your pointer and hints. regarding the card.text and card.title info, am I right in assuming that I have to use my own Nitter installation to get this working? Currently I use nitter.net to get the feed.

Yes , modify and compile then run.

I've never compiled apps and I'm not a dev. I would probably use Nittter via Yunohost. I will see if that works for me. Thanks for your help so far.
