This is cool! How are you pre-rendering the Twitter and GitHub embeds?

It was basically a matter of simply modeling out these objects in our app and mimicking the CSS. The devil is in the details and we'll write a few posts on the implementation, but the process is pretty simple. There are some small tradeoffs for each of these, but so many benefits. Since the GitHub issues can be edited, one key is deciding how and how often to check for changes.
