EmbedX – Bring back beautiful embeds on 𝕏/Twitter

We were inspired to make this project because 𝕏/Twitter recently removed titles & description from link embeds in posts. It felt like much information has been lost and we want to bring back transparency to users. Of course this is not limited to 𝕏/Twitter since you can fully control the displayed text and customize the embeds to match your brand CI. As a tech stack we used Laravel (Backend/API), Next.js (Frontend) and node workers generating the images with WebGL - provisioned via Hashi Nomad. Do you have any feedback or comments? Please let me know, I'm happy to answer…

EmbedX – Bring back beautiful embeds on 𝕏/Twitter launched on November 6, 2023 with 6 votes, #1,610 of 4,333 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.

What it does

EmbedX enables a new but familiar look for embeds on social media with more personalization than ever before

    Hi HN, I’m a co‑founder of Embeddable AI. After struggling to add interactive AI experiences to Wix, Shopify, Webflow, WordPress sites, I built this tool to let marketers build chatbots, quizzes or assistants and embed them anywhere with a snippet. Built in React/TypeScript front end and Node.js logic engine. It loads fast and works across CMS platforms. I’d love feedback from builders and marketers on use cases, missing features, or integration ideas.

    Hey HN! We built Postel because posting consistently on X was taking way too much time and mental energy. With Postel you can: - get personalized post ideas in your voice - see how other creators would write your idea - turn YouTube/videos/articles/podcasts into short posts - repurpose your existing content & brand knowledge - browse thousands of viral tweets → draft, edit, and schedule posts Would love to hear what you think! Cheers!

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Hi HN, I’m Kashish, one of the co-founders of SpeedVitals, a platform for testing & monitoring website performance with a major emphasis on Core Web Vitals. Until now, our platform has only focused on Synthetic/Lab testing, such as Lighthouse tests and TTFB tests. But now, we have developed a Real-User Monitoring platform that doubles up as a Web Analytics tool. One major feature we have that most RUM tools lack is Performance Audits. Just like Lighthouse audits work on Lab test data, our audits work across all the real-user visits and gives suggestions on what task to prioritize first.…
