Glance

In today’s mobile-first world, links are everywhere — in chats, emails, and social feeds. But most of the time, they show up as plain, lifeless URLs that don’t say much about what’s behind the click.

That’s where Glance comes in. It’s a modern Android app built with Jetpack Compose and Material 3 that transforms ordinary links into beautiful, real-time preview cards with titles, descriptions, and images. Every shared URL becomes instantly more useful — and far more engaging.

Why Plain URLs Aren’t EnoughSharing a raw link is like handing someone an unlabeled key — they don’t know what it unlocks until they try it. Glance fixes that by giving context at a glance:

Automatic URL Detection: Recognizes and validates links as you type

Visually Rich Preview Cards: Extracts metadata for titles, descriptions, and images

Real-Time Processing: Debounced fetching for lightning-fast performance

Cross-Site Compatibility: Works with Open Graph, Twitter Cards, and standard meta tags

Seamlessly share, preview, and explore links without ever leaving the app. With smooth animations, a clean design, and developer-friendly architecture, Glance isn’t just functional — it’s delightful.
