Display complete link description (great for Twitter links)

This would be just a small change for Kinopio, I believe. Currently, the link preview (when rendered) shows just a couple of lines, while in the editing mode all description is visible. If this could be fixed (or added an option) it would be so great, especially for pasting Twitter links.

makes sense, and I’ll look to see if it makes sense with a wide variety of tweets. The reason I currently truncate is:

  • i treat tweets like every other kind of url preview currently
  • lots of urls have seo garbage or irrelevant info in their url preview descriptions (so you wouldn’t want to show everything in these common cases)

Sure. I was just thinking that this could be the easiest way to provide an equivalent for Twitter plugin :). But maybe there are good reasons why not to do that :D.
