Default thumbnail is Boston "coming soon" #114

Closed mlbtc closed 1 year ago

Hayley noticed that the default thumbnail for the dashboard when you share on social is the "coming soon" from boston pic - would be great to change, if possible, though we have no idea how!

More context: We noticed that it’s the Chicago pic on fb, the Boston pic on LinkedIn, not sure about twitter

I noticed this for LinkedIn. This is likely because social media accounts scrape the images and decide which one is more important based on a (notoriously problematic) algorithm that includes a number of things including shape. In some cases, it takes the first correctly-shaped image for the purpose, which is Boston (because of the alphabet).

I don't have a workable solution unfortunately without changing the image or reordering the tiles (which apparently might not help)

Will be fixed once Boston data is active in v1.2.0 release.
