Site related news, functions and modules / Proposal: Twitter card for Shipspotting.com
« on: January 24, 2021, 10:55:41 AM »
From time to time, I'd like to share an interesting photograph from Shipspotting.com in Twitter. However, the site lacks the function to generate a "Twitter Card":

Since a bare link does not attract attention to the tweet as much as visual content, some Twitter users include (a low-resolution version of) the photograph in their tweet. However, this is problematic from copyright point of view.
Would it be possible to include the necessary metadata to the photograph pages so that including a link to Shipspotting.com would generate, say, a Summary Card:

After all, we already have the thumbnail code generator for websites and forums.
