Simple and light link card plug-in
by tar0·2 years ago
It is simple and has enough functionality for my needs.
If you use this, you can treat the link cards as blocks and set preferences of each card from the block editor.
Many link card plug-ins cannot handle non-utf8 encoded pages correctly, but you can set proper encodings manually if you use this.
I’ve been using Pz-LinkCard and it is also good, but I prefer this one.
