Better Sharing with Link Previews

12/15/2025

New Features

Sharing your nutrient recipes just got a lot cleaner. We have overhauled how our sharing system works to ensure your links look great on social media platforms like Discord, Facebook, and X (Twitter).

Previously, sharing a link to a specific Mixture or Feed Schedule often resulted in a generic or empty preview card. We've introduced a new "short link" system (hydro-calc.com/s/...) that automatically generates rich preview cards containing:

  • The Name of your Mixture or Schedule.
  • The Description you wrote for it.
  • A Contextual Image representing the content.

Now, when you post your latest tomato recipe on a forum, users will see exactly what it is before they click.

2. Backward Compatibility

All your existing shared links continue to work exactly as they did before. The new system is purely additive—newly generated share links will use the improved format automatically.

Bug fixes

  • Link Previews Preview links resulted in an error on platforms like Discord.
