 When plugin/theme/block/pattern authors want to share their work on social
 platforms, they want to link directly to their product on .org and have it
 look nice.

 Currently, it doesn't look nice. Here's an example:

 Github recently added dynamic social share images as the default for all
 repositories. This issue thread [https://github.com/ipfs/dir-index-
 html/issues/51] is great reading on their approach. This is an annotated
 concept:

 Taking that same concept I applied it to a WP Plugin from the Plugin
 Directory.

 Here it is annotated:

 I know that Automattic also recently acquired a plugin that achieves this
 effect, perhaps that is in the cards for making this a simple task to
 complete.

 Naturally, more tests will have to be run for other plugins, themes,
 blocks, and patterns. I'm happy to test with more examples in Figma if
 this issue gets traction. Speaking of Figma, here's the project I worked
 from as a reference:
