Social Preview - Tux

The issue
I shared this remarkable list with my friends, and then I saw this:
It looks very general and ugly in my opinion.
Suggestion
I suggest going into the repo then Settings > Social Preview > Edit > Upload an image... and setting your wonderful image with Tux!
Its dimensions are 1590x720, but GitHub recommends quoting:
Images should be at least 640×320px (1280×640px for best display).
So fewer pixels in:
- width 310 = 1590 – 1280
- height 80 = 720 – 640
I think this amount of information is enough, and I hope you will like this idea.
Thank you so much for the suggestion. It is very good.
I dont actually use social media a lot so pardon me for not finding out about this soon.
I did what you recommended.
Although I do not know how to reproduce your preview, sharing on my facebook looks like this :
So I assume it works, but if it doesn't, please tell me
No problem, I'm glad you liked it!
Neither do I, however it is not only for social media. When you use GitHub Explore (this way I found your repo) you can see these Social Previews and when it is set, I think that looks more professional and clickable. It could be better named I guess than Social Preview.
Looks neat, I used Signal messenger for doing so. Now it looks like this:
Yes, it works, thanks. I'm closing the issue.
