Metacheck – preview how any link appears on social media and chat apps
Hey HN, I’ve been an indie hacker for a while, but I haven’t had much success with my past projects.

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.
