How to share a public Streamlit cloud app on HN


Today I tried to share a public streamlit app [1] here on Hacker News. At first, the link correctly pointed to my app. After a few seconds the URL was replaced with https://share.streamlit.io/error.

It looks like HN replaced my url as inspecting the URL in the console revealed that the post no longer pointed to the original URL I submitted.

Anyone knows what is happening and if there is a way around it?

I saw a few HN posts sharing their streamlit app using a URL in the share.streamlit.io format but I have no idea how to create such a link.

seems streamlit sends a redirect when connecting (at least that what I see when I try with curl), which the HN server follows, so you should either talk to streamlit to fix that or post something on your blog and link to streamlit from there.
