Hey everyone,
First and foremost I am going to lock this discussion. Core now offers the ability for extensions to fully change handling links in posts, I don't see a reason to keep this up if the request has been satisfied. I am aware that my little example extension isn't entirely supporting all use cases, but any developer should be able to pick it up and extend it for personal taste or create a settings page for a broader user base.
Having said that, I'd like to point out that going back and forth in a discussion between multiple people can get heated. This is okay as long as our community guidelines aren't breached, most specifically:
"Make sure your replies provide constructive feedback and support to allow for an inclusive community."
This is one of our vaguest rules, but it is absolutely necessary. Understanding that people have different opinions, and the right to have them, should indicate that swaying someone to adopt yours shouldn't be the goal of your interaction. The back and forth in this discussion could have easily ended sooner by accepting that opinions differ. This applies primarily to @CyberGene and @rob006.
@Hari I am very sorry if people calling you obsessed makes you uncomfortable. I see this level of obsession as an attribute of being passionate. I admire your level of commitment and I wouldn't want to see it differently. Understand that this obsession actually resulted in better handling of links for SEO in Flarum. A victory you can claim for yourself! If you ever feel annoyed about these kind of remarks, feel free to DM me on Discord to chat about what this means and why these kind of things aren't necessarily a bad thing 🙂
