PeakD update: Share posts as embedded previews

A few days ago I asked what we should build next on PeakD, and this release is already a pretty direct result of that. Most of the changes here came from the comments I received on that post.

The main one is a new way to share PeakD posts: you can now copy an embed iframe from the post share menu and include a real post preview inside another post.

Thanks to @vikisecrets and @fernandosoder for suggesting this.

Share more than a plain link

For a long time PeakD has supported post "social previews". This means copying a link and pasting on a different platform. It works just fine for Discord and other apps supporting this sharing protocol, but it is not a perfect solution for everyone.

So the share menu now has a new option: Copy embed iframe

That gives you a small <iframe> snippet pointing to embed.peakd.com/category/@author/permlink. When you paste this into a platform supporting the iframe domain it will be rendered as a lightweight preview card. You can also open the direct link to get an idea of the result.

And of course we have support for it on peakd.com itself (if you are on peakd.com and you don't see the embedded post under this paragraph you have to refresh the website):

The card shows the author, title, cover image when available, a short preview, basic stats, and a button to open the full post.

So you can use a PeakD post preview inside another PeakD post without it turning into a broken iframe, an unsafe embed, or a huge empty block with the wrong height.

Other small updates in this release

A few smaller fixes and improvements are also included:

- pending HIVE/HBD internal market orders now show in wallet tooltips
- community search works properly again
- community account creation should hit fewer random-name collisions
- the agent Markdown canonical URL now includes the category
- Syndicate Protocol was added to the wallet games section
- broken 3Speak cover-image previews should work better now

As usual, let me know if the new embed flow works well for you, if the card should show different information, or if you find a place where the preview does not render correctly.

And keep the ideas coming on the feedback post. This was exactly the kind of quick improvement that can come from a small suggestion at the right time.

Interesting feature. With this maybe a guide, compilation of posts could be made. Do y ou know how that could be possible? Once I saw someone creating a kind of list, but don't know how they did it.
@gabrielatravels(79)· 78d
Really great feature!
@we-are-ai(59)· 79d
I’m not sure if this is already possible on Peakd — it’s just an idea — but it would be useful to be able to filter users by a specific reputation range, or to view posts within a certain word count range directly on the site. For now, I’m using a personal external tool to do this.

I was wondering, if some kind of a mute, or hide option would be possible only for certain Snaps. I don't want to mute the author, but would prefer to save my sanity and avoid seeing certain snaps. X used to have a "hide" option.
@fernandosoder(67)· 79d
Awesome.

BTW: My reputation shows 67 here and in my profile but 25 in snaps preview. Is this happening to anybody else?
@erikah(83)· 79d
I love it and thanks, it's a brilliant idea!

This is amazing speed It’s incredibly refreshing to see a development team that actually listens to the community and turns feedback into a live feature this fast. Embedded previews are going to make sharing and cross-promoting Hive content on other platforms or within posts look so much cleaner and more professional. Thank you @asgarth and the PeakD team for constantly polishing the ecosystem and putting user requests first. Outstanding work 🚀💻🔥
@we-are-ai(59)· 79d
Hi, thanks for this update, really interesting 👌
I have a quick technical question:with this new embed feature, is it strictly limited to individual post previews, or do you plan (or allow) embedding larger parts of PeakD (or even full pages) inside an iframe for personal projects? For example, I’m thinking about building a custom dashboard with a split-screen layout embedding different websites.
I understand there are security considerations (X-Frame-Options / CSP), so I was wondering if this is something PeakD might support in a controlled way, or if it's intentionally restricted. Thanks!
@vikisecrets(80)· 79d
Very cool, this is really a useful feature both inside and outside hive to reference/embed other hive posts :)
