I wonder what will happen if one of our breaking api changes fucks one of these queries... They are probably running a proxy cached service to avoid any of those problems.
@Jon you also 3-finger click to get that popover - or if you have a fancy new force touch track pad you can just push really hard.On Fri, Jun 5, 2015 at 1:34 PM, Brian Gerstle <bgerstle@wikimedia.org> wrote:Our users also *really* want popovers (have a 1-star review on our current version in the US app store complaining we don't have link preview yet).On Fri, Jun 5, 2015 at 1:32 PM, Jon Katz <jkatz@wikimedia.org> wrote:I love this feature and it has changed how I read.

The content is presented in a native component, with only the first section of text shown (all links, references, infoboxes, etc. are stripped out). (I wonder what API they're using?)
It looks very similar to the link preview prototypes we've been developing in our apps, and it's very telling that the Kindle app has such a feature, since it helps emphasize the usefulness of this feature in any kind of "reader" app. Perhaps, in addition to link previews, we may also want to think about allowing users to highlight words and show definitions (from Wiktionary?), pronunciations, translations, etc...p.s. I was able to get the Kindle app to crash by clicking a link inside one of the Wikipedia "previews" that wasn't stripped out correctly. In other words, no app is safe from the edge cases of wikitext!
