Thumbnails to links has been one website feature I have been expecting ever since i started dropping useful links in comments. All thanks to utopian for this opportunity to propose it.

Has anyone reading this ever dropped a link in comment?
If no, you should try copping this particular post link and then comment it back in the post. After you’ve done that, you’d see how boring or rough your comment will look.

This how boring and rough it will look


I’m just too tired of seeing my comment look so boring. So what I usually do is, use some markdown codes to manually customize my links. Something like this

That's just how I manually post links in comments . So if I'm to post 100 links , I will manually use the codes 100 times . It's time consuming and everyone don't even know about markdown codes. that's the reason I'm suggesting link thumbnails to be implemented.


My Idea


I am suggesting the implementation of link thumbnails in comments.
It’d be pretty nice if a brief description= image + title of a link commented automatically displays after or while commenting.


The link description mentioned above maybe implemented in any of these two formats

image & title appears before/after the actual link

WhatsApp has it

Facebook has it


image & title automatically replaces the link

I'll be glad to see this feature in the next update 💯


It's @Rufans the Observer 👀
