Microlink Markdown capabilities keeps getting better.
You can now turn any YouTube URL into clean markdown.
Point it at a video, get the transcript back as markdown. No scraping, no yt-dlp glue. Ready to feed an LLM.

✅✅ Embeddable links in @Prototypr editor.
How it's made:
1. Paste url, @ProseMirror/@tiptap_editor creates a link node
2. Show loading state + fetch link info from @nextjs route
3. Use metascraper (@microlinkhq) to get OG data, send back to front-end as html to display

I'm so sorry but I forgot @microlinkhq
Creating screenshots of urls in 1 line of code is amazing.
I just had to sign up for the pro plan after launching because I blew through the free tier ❤️

I needed to scrape RSS feed urls in Otter, originally I used github.com/ggkovacs/rss-find… but that was before I started using Metascraper. Metascraper didn't provide a plugin for this, so I created one. It has just been published: github.com/microlinkhq/metas… 💯

8. Sharing experience 🔗
Documentation links are typically shared on Slack, Discord, or Twitter, so we wanted to present a compelling and attractive preview.
To help with that, we implemented dynamic Open Graph images using @microlinkhq.

Added link previews for my blog posts. 🎉
If you hover over a link it shows a small preview.
Works by capturing screenshots with @microlinkhq.
