Create link previews on the client side, like in Facebook/LinkedIn

Question

Yes, you can generate link previews completely on the client, which is how link previews should be generated anyway, for efficiency and to avoid DOS-ing your server.

To find a client-side library that does link previews, search GitHub for "link preview", and narrow down the search to JavaScript.
