chore: put the project icon on the social cards - #38
Merged
Conversation
The cards carried the product screenshot but nothing identifying the project, so a link preview looked like a generic screenshot of a landscape photo rather than something with a name attached. Adds the icon on a light tile — it is amber and black on transparency, so it needs one to read against the dark card at all — and moves the accent colour from blue to the icon's own amber so the card and the icon look like the same project. Two sizes, because the two places want different ratios: 1280x640 for the GitHub repository preview, 1200x630 for Open Graph. GitHub's preview is upload-only, so its card lives in the repo as the source to re-upload from rather than being wired to anything. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Follow-up to #34. The cards showed the product but nothing identifying the project, so a link preview read as a generic screenshot of a landscape photo rather than as something with a name.
What changed
#FECE23, sampled from the icon), so the card and the icon look like the same project..github/assets/social-preview.png— 1280×640, GitHub's stated best-display size.demo/social-preview.jpg— 1200×630, the Open Graph size the demo page's tags already point at. Replaces the previous unbranded card.Both render from one template, so they stay consistent.
Still a manual step
GitHub does not expose the repository social preview through its API.
.github/assets/social-preview.pngis committed as the file to upload under Settings → General → Social preview, and as the source to re-upload from if it ever changes.Note
demo/social-preview.jpgonly reaches the live site on the nextnpm run publish:demo.Verification
