I think that is the image that gets shared on FB or Twitter.
It also explains why edits are time limited. -
It would be nice to see the ranter's avatar instead of the classic one though. Many people tell me mine looks exactly like me :D

trogus140694y@oscarascal yes, new image cards with user avatar and bg color are designed, just waiting to get built
-
dfox442814y@gitpush normally the case, but I think @trogus actually took on the challenge of doing the backend work (in addition to the design) for the new image design in this case :)

DevRant stickers, here I come! (Actually here you come because that's how sending something in the mail works)
-
I wonder if the image is generated when the rant is created, or lazily when it's first needed, or possibly even on every request.

trogus140691y@kiwibird22 that post was before we added SEO friendly urls. If you take the rant url up to the /number/image.png it still works

Wow! Apparently DevRant saves custom images for every rant!
As far as I can tell, these can be accessed by adding "/image.png" to the end of your rant link!
