Ability to customize social media preview cards for lists and short links

Would be neat to be able to customize the preview cards on social networks for lists and short links. This would help with engagement and click through rates.

We would need the ability to add/customize:

  • Title
  • Summary
  • Image

Maybe when we detect a crawler/bot that belongs to things like Twitter, FB, Linked In, Mastodon, Skype, Telegram, Teams, Slack, etc. we show a simple set of headers on the page to populate the card.

There's probably a good list of crawler user agents out there. Some quick searches found:
