That page has all the twitter:* metadata fields I can identify as necessary but still no card.

Twitter cross-posting for #goldfrog is technically working, but the templates are not yet rendering the twitter metadata properly, so links are not showing up as nicely as I wish they would.

Next up will be mastodon posting.

The Twitter API part was easy, using go-twitter

The hard bits were writing the code to transmogrify a Post struct into reasonably formatted content for the cross-posted tweet, and then getting the template fixes done to provide the right metadata for a given link.

Ooooooh, yeah #goldfrog #mastodon

(SORRY, LOST IMAGE)

Thanks to go-mastodon this was super easy.


@agiletortoise oh riiiiihgt, I commented out a bunch of that trash when I was porting the templates. Back to the editor :)
