@crazycells wait, that's not my baby...

Yes, my wife had a baby and so I'm getting less sleep than usual
It is sure that less and chopped sleep, it will last some time
@julian said in IFramely alternatives, homebrewed solution, etc.:
But this is definitely on my radar as something to address...
This is a good thing because If iframely is so messed up on V3, it's a brake on the switch to V3 for me.

Yes, I have to admit it's been something of a bumpy ride for me and it either works well, or not at all. I don't think it's a NodeBB issue though.

Good to know. I hope it can be fixed soon.

I don't think it's going to be a fix - more of a departure from iFramely altogether with a home-brew solution

@phenomlab well, it's a start, and there's a lot to do before I can actually publish, but the work is coming along
I did end up using
link-preview-js, so I stood up this proof-of-concept this afternoon. -
@julian it seems that the
link-previewpackage has been deprecated

To take the heat off @julian in lieu of his new arrival to the Lam family
I decided to take a stab at this myself, and have a working solution here
OGProxy - a replacement for iFramely
Hi all, I’ve been working on a self-coded replacement for iFramely, and I now have a workable solution that Is able to bypass CORS restrictions Gets data as...
Sudonix | A one-stop-shop for all your technology questions (sudonix.org)
It's NOT perfect, and NOT finished, but working for the most part. It's also not a plugin, but raw code.
Let me know if any interest.

@phenomlab
so it seems like link-preview-js is also deprecated!Only recently (31 March 2023), though, so I think perhaps if it still working fine, then NodeBB could take it over.

I do think using that library is still worth it. The server-side component I think it helpful because then we can leverage caching to reduce noise to queried servers.
I have been fiddling with my own plugin today and hope to have something to demo soon
It's a race!!

@julian I'm using a
CORSproxy with caching for what I'm developing. Currently it's using content headers but tomorrow I will secure it with an API key.The drawback here is that the
CORSproxy needs to run as a daemon but is very efficient and gets around the cors restrictions nicely.
