Shared entries now show highlights, photos, and locations
Until today, a shared entry link showed only the diary text. Starting now, /share/[token] pages render the same highlights, photos, videos, and locations that appear in your own authenticated diary view.
Feature parity with the authenticated view
When you send someone a share link, they now see:
- Highlights from your connected services (GitHub PRs, Todoist tasks, Toggl time, Steam achievements, and so on)
- Photos and videos collected from Bluesky, Slack, Discord, GitHub, and webhook sources
- Locations from payloads that include coordinates
We shipped highlights, the media gallery, and the location timeline earlier this month. Until today, those sections existed only for the author. The public shared entry page stopped at the prose. This release brings the two views to parity.
Per-link opt-out toggles
When you create a share link from an entry page, two new toggles appear in the dialog:
- Include photos & videos
- Include locations
Both default to on. Creating a share link already signals that you want to publish rich content, so these exist for opt-out, not re-consent. Turn them off on a specific link if that entry has a photo or a place you would rather not send out, without having to remove it from your own diary.
Highlights are always included. They are structured summaries of activity, not raw data like media or coordinates, so we do not gate them.
Private profiles stay out of search results
If your public profile is disabled, your shared entry URLs now return noindex, nofollow in their robots meta tags, and the Article structured data is suppressed. Share links still work when opened directly, but search engines will not index them.
This matches the two-layer model we introduced with public profile pages: the profile toggle decides whether search engines should see anything at all, and per-entry sharing decides what you hand out on a per-link basis.
Availability
These changes apply to every share link across all plans. Existing share links you created before today automatically render highlights, media, and locations on their next view, and respect the same indexable rule.
