@eddiejaoude, can you help me explain this feature?

I think similar to how we have the social icons, we could have a selected piece of content that is previewed.

For example

• if they add a YouTube link, it would embed the video
• if they add a Tweet link, it would show the tweet

They can only have 1 item at a time, so their json file would have the additional field...

   "promote": "<url>"

note: we would have to determine the preview/component type by the url

@eddiejaoude where is it displayed? Right below the tags on the profile page or somewhere else.

Hey @eddiejaoude i would love to work on this feature. Also need some guidance along the process.

This requires more thought on where this is to appear on their profile page - so I have blocked it for now.
