Add meaningful meta data when sharing links #61

Closed frantzheld closed 3 years ago

frantzheld commented 3 years ago

Describe the bug When sharing weglide links, always standard meta data is previewed, see screenshots. Especially when multiple links (e.g. multiple flights of a day from different pilots) are send by e.g. whatsapp all descriptions are identical. It is not possible to identify the links, when searching for one of these links.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Copy weglide link, e.g. https://beta.weglide.org/flights/844
  2. Paste it to Whatsapp / Facebook etc.
  3. See boring description (screenshots added)

Expected behavior Meaningful meta data could be added, so that the main content is previewed, e.g.: Picture: WeGlide logo or better (if feasible) flight map thumbnail Headline: "WeGlide - Pilot Name" Description: "Date - Points - km - km/h"

This is somewhat tricky. The metadata is added but too slowly for the Whatsapp/FB bots to wait for (flight needs to load). So they rush and go with the default data.

Okay, this seems not possible with our setup for now.
