Here's a prototype for imageless pinning on Pinterest. To try it out, drag this link to your toolbar:
Right now it won't make a pin yet; we're just exploring what imageless pins might look like in the grid.
Don't like the link color? Click to randomize.
We survey all the links on the page and look for the ones with the highest saturation. These are least likely to be gray. Once we find a likely candidate we're backing the brightness down a bit, so we don't have bright yellow images with white text.
We're grabbing document.title and removing the domain, if we can find it. When we ship this, we should allow descriptions to be edited right there in the grid. If the imageless description is edited, it should update in preview.
