Hey folks I'm trying to validate an idea for a browser extension which shows a popup when you hover over a link. This popup shows metadata of that webpage including comment count, followers, following, etc and other metrics.

I've been working on this for a few months and I enjoy using it. It has saved a lot of my time browsing large lists of links(Eg: https://github.com/nuxt-community/awesome-nuxt)

Would you be interested in using something like this? Here's a small preview: https://linkpreviews.io
