Starting to think the custom og images I use are more hassle than they're worth.

Like if I toot a post I've done, the title is there anyway so the image doesn't really add anything.

@robb I was debating adding this style of og images to my site but yeah so far I haven’t seen a process of doing it that seemed worth the effort or the extra dependencies.

@robb I started defaulting mine, and can override it on a per-post basis if I want to.

@robb I took mine away a few years ago because it was a bit of a pain to remember to make it (it was basically a complex URL built with Cloudinary's API and an Unsplash image, fun but ultimately not very useful).

For what it's worth, if you just used your logo in the small form factor, I'd click it all the same, though I could imagine variations like your "RK" logo and "Blog" sitting below in a smaller font size, still fitting in a square. (it's what I've been thinking about anyways!)

@chriskirknielsen yeah I was thinking maybe just a handful of them for the top level things like blog, notes, etc

@robb I think it’s neat if it’s a long title, or it gets posted by someone else. It makes you seem so fancy. Default images are hard. I hate mine but can’t think of anything better. If I put an image in the post I added an optional frontmatter for “image:” that overrides the default. Maybe give yourself an easy way to set one if you ever want something other than default?

@joesteel I do like seeming fancy.

That’s a good call with the image override, I’ll have a gander at that as an option.
