ReactTemplate VS opengraph

I've never found CRA makes project management any easier (aside from the first few days after setting up a new project). In the long run it's always been a pain as it prevents you from touching most of the config. Personally I use this ReactTemplate which uses many of the same tools as CRA but with everything exposed and much more sensible defaults so it's easy to configure for whatever you want and nothing is forced upon you.

Most people have only ever used Webpack via CRA which is a terribly optimized config. If you design your own Webpack config it can be so fast that you won't notice it. (Example)

I recommend setting up tsconfig with strict mode enabled and ESLint and TypeScript ESLint rules to be fairly strict. This is a great way to learn with guard rails as it'll slap you when you try to do something which is unsafe or too loosely typed. Here's a reference ESLint config that is frequently updated with any newly released rules that fit well. This happens to be for a TypeScript React project, but you can always trim out the rules from plugins that aren't relevant for you.

Don't forget ESLint. Arguably more important than many of those other things for fixing the common mistakes that most developers make. And note that the recommended ESLint configs are incredibly conservative so you probably want to customize the rules to get much higher quality. An example of one of my recommended React/TypeScript ESLint configs.

And then I have a ton of code-level tools and configs that I use all the time. Many of which are in this React Template if you want to pick through it. There's code spellcheckers, dependency update checkers, extensive linting configs and more.

If you want a reference, take a look at this eslint config for some good rules to use.

If you want a reference, this ReactTemplate is very simple and in many cases can be used as a drop-in for CRA.

No reason to go overkill with a metaframework. All you need is a new build config. That's all CRA is, a collection of configuration files. I choose to just configure what I need myself so I have control over it and can easily customize it and get all of the features and performance that I want if I want it. The content of your app shouldn't need to change just because your build process changes. (If you want a reference, here's the React Template I start with.)

Yeah here's the config from my open source React Template: https://github.com/CreativeTechGuy/ReactTemplate/blob/main/.eslintrc.js

PS: If you are curious, this is my React Template that I was describing above.

OpenGraph docs

og:*: specified by the Open Graph Protocol for social media links rendering that determine their title, description, and images when you share them on social media or chat software such as Twitter(X), Discord, etc.

OpenGraph probably.

To explore more Open Graph properties, visit this website: Open Graph Protocol.

Since Netlify introduced Edge Functions we've had an ideal way to add a tiny bit of logic into our link shortener which will return a page template of our own to anything looking to unfurl the URL to display its opengraph image.

Recoil Gunworks doesn't have an Open Graph image tag defined in their product pages, so Reddit chooses something at random to use for a preview thumbnail. Neither OP nor the mods can do anything about it.

The idea behind the Semantic Web is, if anything, the exact opposite. Yes, it's still about meaning, in the end. But in this case, it's about the authors of content (mostly webpage developers) intentionally making their content more machine-discoverable, providing links and markup and metadata that computers can read without having to do finicky and error-prone extraction. Most major sites use some features of this! As an example, if you paste this page's URL into Discord, you'll get a fancy popup box with a little snippet of the text and maybe an icon, and this is through a Facebook-developed Semantic Web extension called OpenGraph.
