Ever wanted to have embeds show up when you send a Newgrounds post?
Just add "fix" before "newgrounds" and watch the magic happen!

To run this project, first clone the repo.
Once you've done that, ensure you have pnpm installed:
npm i -g pnpmThen run the following command inside the project's directory:
pnpm iAfter that, you'll have to install the Chromium browser for Playwright.
If you're on a Debian-based distro (using apt), you can just run:
pnpx playwright install chromiumIf you're on Fedora, follow this guide.
Next, you'll wanna have an HTTP client installed, such as Postman,
Insomnnia, etc.
Alternatively you could just use curl.
Now you can simply try to send a GET request to a fixed Newgrounds URL to see the response.
GET http://localhost:7854/art/view/4wk/gift-for-a-friend
If everything is right, the response should look a little something like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<link rel="canonical" href="https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/4wk/gift-for-a-friend" />

</head>
<body></body>

{
"author_name": "4wk",
"author_url": "https://4WK.newgrounds.com/"
}NOTE: If you want it to embed posts that require an account to view, you must first run the following command:
pnpm signinThis will open a browser. Once you've logged in, you can safely close the browser
and exit the program (ctrl+c). Then you can run pnpm start as normal.
If you want to test your local version on Discord, you'll need to expose the server to the internet. For that, you could either use any web server like nginx, apache, caddy, etc., or a tunnel through something like Cloudflare Tunnel or ngrok.
That's it!
