Embedding Features: What do you want to see?
Below you'll find a list of things I think would be good features for the embedding system found within the Boards. Personally, it amazes me that the Boards have come this far because this is probably one of the (if not the) best single-game forum systems in the world.
That being said, there's still work to be done and Riot has shown that they are willing to do that work. Sound off in the comments regarding what you'd like to see!
Oh, and as a note: "Share as a Link" is amazing.
#EMBEDDING SUGGESTIONS
LINK AS TEXT VS. LINK AS PREVIEW ISSUE: Link types that would best be shown in text, i.e. Google Docs, Spreadsheets, etc., are previewed in their entirety.
PROPOSED SOLUTION: Allow for an "Embed as Preview" or "Embed as Text Link" option.
AUTOMATIC EMBED TOGGLE Secondary to the issue listed above, it may also benefit users to have an "Automatically Embed Link(s)" option that can be triggered on and off for individual posts. This creates a more fluid experience for anyone who may not want to individually toggle each embedded item.
IMAGE PREVIEW ENABLE/DISABLE ISSUE: Anytime an image is embedded in a post, that image is also used as the thumbnail for the Board preview.
PROPOSED SOLUTION: Allow for specific images to be selected as the thumbnail preview and create an option that would give users control over whether or not a thumbnail is included.
EMBED BASED ON LINK TYPE Perhaps an easier way to modify the first suggestion, "Embed Based on Link Type" would give users control (in individual posts) whether or not they would like certain types of links to be embedded into a post.
EMBED PREVIEW IN-POST Regardless on the type of link, perhaps it would be possible to capture a shot of what that link may be. For example, instead of embedding the Docs mentioned above it would be possible to create an image preview of the page. When clicked, it would go to the link.
