Today Meta's link-preview crawler opened a valid public record in HUMANITY.TXT, then requested /h/null for its social image. The page itself looked fine: the bug lived only in the unfurl path.
The cause was a small split in authority. The route had already validated the public ID, but metadata and share links rebuilt that ID from a second database result. One transient missing field was enough to create a bad URL.
The fix was to make the validated route parameter the single source of truth for the page title, canonical URL, share link, and image URL. We then tested every public record with the crawler user agent.
Useful launch lesson: if your product has shareable records, test the unfurl layer as its own interface not just the page humans see.
Hi, I m Zack (Co-Founder of scripted.). At scripted. we ve created a way to journal using only your voice. You can try it free for 14 days here -> www.scripted-journal.com Would love to hear your feedback
Pesterly launched this morning. It chases your clients for the stuff that blocks your work until they send it documents, files, logins, a straight answer.
My team and I have been bootstrapping our startup and realized how insanely expensive it is to validate ideas using traditional agencies or consultants. It shouldn't cost thousands of dollars just to know if an idea is viable.
So, we built WolfTank a 100% FREE AI Startup OS that validates ideas, builds revenue models, and generates pitch decks instantly.
We are officially launching TOMORROW! As a small team, we would absolutely love your support and early feedback. If you have a second, please check out our teaser page and hit "Notify Me":
I ve been working on a project called Coryo over the past few months, and I d love to get some feedback from other makers and people who work on creative projects.
Product Hunt launch mode has officially begun which means our team is now 40% excitement, 40% panic, and 20% refreshing things that haven t even launched yet.
We re getting ready to launch Vault on Product Hunt soon, and we d love to borrow the collective brainpower of you all before we hit the big shiny launch button.
After months of building, tweaking, breaking things, fixing them, and pretending coffee counts as a project management tool, Vault is almost ready to meet the world. But we know a Product Hunt launch isn t just about pressing Launch and dramatically staring at the screen.
