Research direction

Start by tracing how Warp generates permalink sharing metadata and how the Slack preview is populated. Define which input/output details, such as the command, should appear, then verify the resulting preview communicates the linked content without relying on the current marketing description.

Describe the solution you'd like?
I'd like to see better metadata when posting a permalink into slack. Right now, the only text that appears when pasting a link is the description:
> Warp
Warp is a blazingly fast, Rust-based terminal reimagined from the ground up to work like a modern app.

I'd prefer that the metadata shared something about the input/output that I'm linking to. Maybe that could be something as simple as the command I ran.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Right now, it can be a bit difficult to get someone to click on my permalink.  The domain is unknown, and the metadata seems very market-y. I have a feeling that coworkers think that the link is going to make them download something.
