Description

Dash applications have a default title ("Dash") but no other default <meta> tags. You can add those tags using the builtin component: https://dash.plotly.com/dash-html-components/meta

But, would be great to have some general meta tags (an image, description maybe?) added by default to every Dash app. This way... they look great out-of-the-box when they're shared! Plausibly we could add some first-class API for meta tags? like, app.config(description=...)?
