This release features a significant update to the PasteDeck link engine which can now deploy an experimental 'deep dive' scraping algorithm for misconfigured/hard-to-reach URLs.
- Link engine will use machine-learning to evaluate first-pass data (thumbnail, title etc) and grade it for suitability.
- If the data is missing or graded as substandard, the link engine will search for alternative, more suitable data, resulting in fewer link cards with missing thumbnails/data etc.
- For URLs which are difficult to reach (misconfigured servers, cookie requirements, malformed HTML/Javascript etc) the link engine will deploy an experimental algorithm to find and assign data.
- Link engine has been re-trained for Amazon product links which now return the correct product image.
