Hi @pranshukharkwal
Can you please add preview links in the form of cards when sharing?

Hi @Rupeshiya
I am not exactly sure what you mean by preview links? Can you please explain? Or show an example?

I mean like when we use any link for sharing on LinkedIn or Twitter or any social media it shows the preview of the links. When we are sharing.

So you want preview for the Invite Link ( which would essentially be the Donut Homepage), or for the sharing link of that particular social media?

Also I am thinking to use facebook graph API for link preview. What do you think? Should I go for it or you would suggest some other method?
I have added links to the social sharing buttons, as mentioned in #596
Apparantly Facebook and linkedin urls do not work with "localhost:5000" as domain (probably because they cannot fetch the content from them) , but I am pretty sure they will work when a publicly available domain is used because :
I tested for facebook : "https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=http://example.com/some-random-alphabets"
and it works properly.
For linkedin : "https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=http://example.com"
and it works as well.
