Short Link Positioning

A quick feature update.

It is now possible to position the short links created by Flutter within the tweet format. For instance, a tweet format like shown in the image below:

Will produce a tweet like the following:

All this really means is that short links no longer have to be inserted at the end of the tweet.

The {{short_link}} variable is where Flutter will insert links pointing to the source or link contained in the dynamic content.

For example, if the dynamic content is just text or an image the short link inserted will point to the page where that content is. If the dynamic content is actually a link itself, like a link to the latest post on a blog, then the short link will point to the same page that the dynamic content link points to.

If you’d like to know more about how this short link feature can be used here’s a walkthrough I wrote previously - ‘Automatic Tweets for Blogs and Aggregators’. It explains how to set up an auto-tweet for the top rated product on Product Hunt.
