Link previews and oEmbed

Link previews and oEmbed

Paste a public blueprint's URL into a chat tool, a wiki or a social post and it unfurls: title, description and a preview image of the diagram.

The preview image is generated from the blueprint itself, so it shows the actual drawing rather than a generic card.

oEmbed

Blueprintr is an oEmbed provider. Tools that support oEmbed can turn a pasted link into a live, interactive embed rather than a static preview. It is the same frame described in embedding, with no iframe snippet to copy.

Support varies by tool. Where a tool does not recognise the provider, the link falls back to an ordinary preview.

The embed URL is built from the author's handle. For an organisation blueprint that is not the same as the organisation's slug, so copy the URL from the Share panel rather than constructing it.

Private content

Only public and unlisted content unfurls. A private blueprint's link shows nothing beyond the URL. An unfurl in a chat channel would otherwise leak the title to everyone in it.
