Slack embeds the same for main page and repo view

[technicalpickles]

I shared https://dotfyle.com/ and https://dotfyle.com/ to https://dotfyle.com/technicalpickles/pickled-nvim to one of the Slacks I am in, and was surprised they render the same:

It took a bit to find, but this is how Slack decides what to display: https://api.slack.com/reference/messaging/link-unfurling#classic_unfurl ie opengraph or twitter card metadata.

I found this which talks about how to implement opengraph: https://whitep4nth3r.com/blog/level-up-your-link-previews-in-slack/

Thanks for the suggestion and for the research as well! I will add this to my todo list. It would be a really nice improvement.

I am not planning on making a custom preview image for every page at the moment, as that would require generating and storing those images. But the text should easily be fixable.

This is now resolved thank you for making the issue. LMK if it doesn't work in slack (remember to bust the cache).

I might make some changes to the text but happy with this for now.

Looks great! The main convention I've seen is, for user pages, to use their avatar for the image, in case that is helpful.

Hmm, I did not think that would work, but maybe it would. I will try it out later!

Thanks for the recommendation, it worked and i think is an improvement. Particularly happy with the graph for plugins with scraped images.
