This is very cool! Some early feedback: switching from a link in bio to the new feature (as shown in the GIF) has a side effect: since other clients don’t support it yet, the links are missing there (same for apps that import your Bsky Bio, ofc). Unfortunate for support links 🤭

I just updated the app on my iPhone and have confirmed that links work on the profile of users that have updated, but not on users that are using the old version

one more: the tooltips shouldn't hold themselves open on hover, if there are multiple rows it's annoying to go up one row because the tooltip blocks the link

sorry, on desktop there's no standard url preview because there's no link, it's a <button> is there a reason you can't just use <a> here?

any guidance for what's needed to display a site's favicon? seeing some inconsistency in whether or not they show up across URLs

But how do you add a Profile Link that points to the Bluesky profile designated by @alexbenzer.com for example - or even @rklen.com - without bypassing Bluesky and going directly to the underlying website?

Just fyi, we (at least on Android) cannot scroll on profile pages if we scroll from the header/bio section. I believe this was a past issue that was resolved, but it's back again.

My website’s favicon has a background applied to it (even though I’m pretty sure the .ico for my URL should be transparent…?) and AO3 doesn’t get an icon right now. There may be something weird happening on my end, with the former. 👉👈 Will AO3 profile links get an icon eventually? 🥺

Hello, artist here! I appreciate any update that helps us, but we would all appreciate it more if you got rid of any "social vibe-coding" plan that will inevitably involve any training on our work, whether caused by you or by using models that already stole from us We can't trust words, only actions
