Thanks for building this, and here’s to a fast, full recovery and finding the right opportunity.
Re. SN:
- One small feature that I find myself wishing it had is that posting a link requires only the link. Read & pull the title.
- For consideration: to draw more quality users and engagement using FOMO, is it worth flipping to an invite-only system where current users earn limited invites as they post OR spend sats to invite?
Posting only requires the link now. It reduces posting friction by a ton. Thanks!

Excellent. Perhaps consider swapping the order of the fields, with url first?
Also, just posted this link, but it only pulled “The BTC Times”. I had to copy/paste the full title.

Try refreshing the post link form page next time you post and it should work. The title was populated for me when I used this link - but only after I refreshed the page.
I believe the browser is caching the old version so you didn't get the update. This is still a no bueno but a different no bueno - looking into it.
Rather than swapping the fields, I'll make the URL field get focus first rather than title - effect is the same but keeps it consistent with the "Discussion" posts.

Super. Thanks.

Good idea!
I think I know why that doesn't work on their site - a quirk of how they render their page (they change the title after the page is downloaded). I'll see if I can work around it because lots of sites do this.

- The title pull is something I've been wanting too. Now that I know it only isn't me I can prioritize it.
- I like this idea. It's an exclusivity play - people who are in brag about being insiders, and people who are out pine to be inside. It's a nice organic marketing play. Clubhouse most recently used this to bootstrap. I think I first read about exclusivity in Made to Stick. Great book.
