We need a better default 'social' card

[ColinEberhardt]

When we lack a featured image, the social card looks pretty bland.

I'm interested in this issue, but I'm a little confused. Can I see the social card that are currently up?

Hi @VincentWoglo you can see social cards as they would appear on Twitter via this validator https://cards-dev.twitter.com/validator

I guess the challenge here is working out what we want the Twitter card to look like.

@ColinEberhardt I believe social cards have to be raster images rather than vector (although the world may have sensibly moved on since I last checked), so we'd need to rasterise the SVG output as well. Were you imagining we could do something dynamic at run/request time or build time? If so, can you describe the rough architecture you had in mind?
