While the slug helps someone know what they're opening before reading it, most apps have link previews which give you just enough information you need.

- namrog84 2y agoI dont know if I'm in the minority but I really dislike link previews the vast majority of the time. They take up too much space and offer to little value. In discord I often x out of the preview and I know lots of others who do too. Maybe on some sites it's fine but I feel like link previews need more modularity on size or something. Perbaps even configurable both host and client
- xyzzy_plugh 2y agoYou're not in the minority. The information density of the preview has to match, if not exceed, that of the context in which it is provided. Most of the times it's a placeholder image with less text than the URL itself.
