External links
By jamie
Should these be allowed?
We'd have to police for porn / scam links ??? sounds exhausting.
External links should look horrible to click on
We will pop a confirmation warning when clicking on one
It will say “trust this URL in the future?” with a checkbox so in the future it doesn’t pop the warning
Could be competing with LinkTree at a less featureful level (we won't add Images or previews)
We have Figma designs for this
Links that point to external pages should look gross and ugly and not fun to click on. Although this might be hard to enforce with our Themes / mods API
On mobile it'll open as a pop-over modal. On web browsers it'll open in a new tab.

Need to add Clean URLs functionality
In the PWA it could be an overlay or something, is that possible? X’s URL preview is also very nice
We should parse structured data from external links so we can further Connect the dots
