Slack App for automatic link re-writing

[tylerkahn]

Seems like it's possible: https://api.slack.com/reference/messaging/link-unfurling

That would be pretty nice

An issue with slack previews is that they're not indexed by slack for searching purposes, so it also would be nice to have the option to have the app automatically include the text of the preview within the message itself or to automatically reply to it in a thread with that text. That text would get indexed by slack

@tylerkahn Well that was more work than I thought. Care to try it out? Click the Add to Slack button on https://news.ycombinator1.com/
