Meta tags help to render your website nicely in the browser, in search engines, and in social media link previews.
Favicon, site name, page title, page description, and page image are the most impactful meta tags.
Learn to set meta tags without and with gem "meta-tags".
Learn to preview meta tags by specialised crawler tools.

Great video!
Do you have any ideas on how you make the social sharing previews dynamic? So for example, if you share a post, the preview is an image of the post.

this is a VERY good question! I am considering making a separate video about it.
Check out Episode 90,91 where I use Rmagick to generate images.
There are other inspiring tools like this: github.com/igor-alexandrov/jekyll-og-image - I use it for my jekyll blog
