Summary

Follow-up to #21. The previous OG card was too quiet for LinkedIn-feed sharing — small headline, abstract orbital motif as the dominant visual, no immediate "what is this" signal. Redesigned to read in two seconds from a feed thumbnail.

Before (#21): abstract orbit on the right, small headline, single subtitle line.
After (this PR): four stat pills as the visual rhythm, oversized headline, trust pill + tags strip framing.

Changes

  • Trust pill top-right● OPEN SOURCE · MIT · v2.6.1 with pulsing accent dot
  • Oversized headline at 112pt — Build React apps / faster. (chartreuse italic on faster.)
  • Four measured-stat pills15 packages, 4.82 KB engine (accent-highlighted), 170+ CSS props, 123 motion presets
  • Aurora dialled back — chartreuse + cobalt bloom top-right, dot grid masked to the corner so it doesn't fight the copy
  • Tag strip footerTYPESCRIPT-FIRST · REACT · REACT-NATIVE

Same 1200×630 dimensions, same static-PNG generation, Twitter card re-uses it.

Test plan

  • bun run build clean — /opengraph-image regenerated (125 KB)
  • Visual check at 1200×630 — headline + pills both legible at LinkedIn feed thumbnail size

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The previous OG card was too quiet for LinkedIn-feed sharing — small
headline, abstract orbital motif as the dominant visual, no immediate
"what is this" signal. Redesigned the layout to read in two seconds
from a feed thumbnail:

- **Trust pill top-right** — `● OPEN SOURCE · MIT · v2.6.1` with
  pulsing accent dot. Engineers scanning a feed see "open source +
  current" before reading the headline.
- **Oversized headline** — `Build React apps / faster.` at 112pt with
  chartreuse italic on `faster.`. Lines split for hard-stop pacing.
- **Four measured-stat pills** as the visual rhythm — `15 packages`,
  `4.82 KB engine` (highlighted accent pill), `170+ CSS props`,
  `123 motion presets`. Pills are concrete, scannable, and replace the
  abstract orbital motif. They're the actual differentiation.
- **Aurora dialled back** — chartreuse + cobalt bloom anchored
  top-right, faint cobalt counter-note bottom-left, dot grid masked
  to the corner so it doesn't fight the copy.
- **Tag strip footer** — `TYPESCRIPT-FIRST · REACT · REACT-NATIVE`
  spells out the audience LinkedIn-side.

Same 1200×630 dimensions; same static-PNG generation; Twitter card
re-uses it. The previous version felt like a design portfolio piece;
this one is a feed-friendly billboard with the value prop encoded in
type and pills, not in metaphor.
