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.
