Just did some testing with our new Next site, and noticed that link embeds are still a flaky. Some notes on the homepage (likely the most important page):

  • on Discord, there's no embed at all
  • on facebook messenger, the image doesn't work as intended
  • works on Instagram DM, though the image is the first news item
  • works on FB post, though the image is the first news item

This should be part of a larger issue surrounding one of the post-action items of #178, which is properly filling out SEO - i.e. #116.

This PR implements per-page SEO tags via [`next-seo`](https://github.com/garmeeh/next-seo). Under-the-hood, the package handles basic meta tags, and OpenGraph URLs; according to the documentation, Twitter now also parses OG data, and thus doesn't generate twitter-specific metadata.

I then manually write and apply copy for each page: the home page, about, committees, events, sponsors, and tech gala. We'll have to backport this to other new pages, like the ones introduced in #238 and #235. I chose not to add any default templating or abstract this to a component, since I think the copy differs enough where boilerplate doesn't help us too much.

For reviewers - it would be great if you could test this on a variety of social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Discord, Instagram. etc.). I've done Discord testing in the #test3 moderator channel of the server, as well as DMing myself on FB messenger.

Closes #116, (hopefully) closes #194.
