Today I fixed a bug in markata that has been occurring for a few months where the description for posts come out as None if coming from cache, the issue was a pretty simple check and pull properly from cache. This fixes all the descriptions in feeds and metadata on the post.

Better description

While in there we went ahead and improved our get_description to more accurately return plain text without escaped characters, remove cutoff words, and add an elipsis if the description cuts off the text.

More description

While I was there I made longer form posts, til, blog-post use the super description of 500 characters instead of the regular 120 character description.
