Question 1

Does things.app declare an og:type?

Accepted Answer

No - things.app does not set an `og:type` meta tag. Most platforms default to `website`, but explicitly declaring it ensures consistent rendering.

Question 2

Does things.app declare image dimensions?

Accepted Answer

things.app sets `og:image` but does not include `og:image:width` and `og:image:height`. Explicit dimensions let platforms render the preview faster without downloading the image first.

Question 3

What headline does things.app use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

things.app's social headline is "Things - To-Do List App for Mac & iOS" (37 characters).

Question 4

What description does things.app use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

things.app's social description reads: "Things is the award-winning personal task manager that helps you plan your day, manage your projects, and make real progress toward your goals." (143 characters).

Question 5

What's the biggest issue with things.app's Slack preview?

Accepted Answer

No og:title - falling back to <title> tag. Set og:title to control social sharing independently from your page title.

Question 6

How can I improve things.app's social previews?

Accepted Answer

Review the recommendations above - they list specific issues and provide ready-to-paste meta tag snippets. The highest-impact fixes are usually a properly sized `og:image` (800×418), a clear `og:title` under 60 characters, and a 50-155 character `og:description`.
