Transclusion seems like a valuable primitive and when used well - it makes the web experience considerably richer (see https://gwern.net for example)
And yet, its usages are few and far between. In this post I'm trying to figure out - why, and how we can improve on that?
screenshots is a sad least common denominator for sharing content
"sharing the unshareable"
lack of tooling
coarse grained context addressing
moving between authentication contexts
share a Roam page
For any web-accessible file/page/document/etc. I want to be able to:
include it/parts of it in other documents
get notifications on change
ideally preserving historical versions over time as Internet Archive does
have a set of common transformations I can apply to it (e.g. scraping and presenting a "structured data view")
a browser extension that enables
fragment-link previews
iframeable link previews
sliding panels UI for links that can be previewed
sharing selected fragments of web-pages as a self-contained HTML file
A library that allows you to easily add live previews to your website

Transclusion as a service: create a public link to/auto-updated view on/ anything (note snippets, emails, tasks, files)
