Dear Alex,

It looks like Twitframe, the twitter preview service we are using in the SI message editor has gone offline.

twitframe.com

Your tweets (now X posts) won't preview properly right after you click the embed button, but when you do post the message to actual SI preview, the Tweet will appear, still giving you an opportunity to see it as it would appear before finally submitting the post to an SI board.

We'll give it a day to see if the Twitframe service comes back up. If it doesn't, we can code something that does what this service did ourselves, as we did recently for Bluesky. The only reason we hadn't replaced the Twitframe service already is the service worked fine, and who likes doing extra work. But if we have to, its no big deal to implement this functionality in house.

In the meanwhile, post the message with preview on SI to see how the Tweet will appear. Again, the ability to embed Tweets in SI posts isn't broken, only the service that we were using which allows the Tweets to be previewed prior to SI preview or post.

And thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Regards,

@Dima

Dear Alex MG,

We pushed out an update tonight, replacing the (downed) Twitframe in-editor Tweet preview with our own Tweet previewer. Your issue should be addressed now. Please let me know if this resolves this issue for your or if you experience any other problems.

Regards,

@Dima
