Iframely is our embed / picture thumbnail fetcher for external sites. But its extremely heavy, unreliable ( crashes a lot ), and doesn’t build for ARM.

      They might’ve fixed that, at least a few days ago I saw a youtube thumbnail go through. I imagine enough people complained about it.

    Hmm, so a service that you send a URL to, via REST request, and then it fetches the thumbnail/content, wraps some HTML around it, and then responds with that to the REST request?

    That sounds like a rather big project…

      It doesn’t need to wrap html, only serve up json.
