This is half-baked for now.

For a lot of SPA, we generate OpenGraph images if the user-agent matches a certain pattern, e.g. if it's Facebook, Discord, Twitter, etc. making a request.

If you're not mimicking the user agents of the platforms, it will often not be the same result.



I wish some formal standard for this would catch on, like a `META` HTTP request type or something. We try to pull in link metadata sometimes and get a Cloudflare captcha instead.
