Some of my pocket bookmarks are saved as t.co URLs from Twitter. So it's pretty difficult to find out what these URLs are at first glance without visiting them.

Would it be worth us making a HEAD request to the URL, checking for a redirect, and a "Location" header, then working with the forwarded URL instead?

I can probably tackle this problem if desired

Did you figure out a solution to this on your own? I'm curious as to how you ended up solving it.

Not as of yet, I have a hacky solution - but I was planning on implementing it properly and making a PR.

Not sure if many people encounter the same problem/it's worth solving though, hence the close. (Feel free to reopen if you think it's worth exploring)
