User Requested Product Improvements

🙏 We are thankful for a community that cares and takes time to submit issues on our community feedback repository. Here are some key feature requests and bug fixes that we recently closed:

Changing the cell mode on unsaved cells
You can now switch the mode on a new cell (e.g. from a JavaScript cell to a Markdown cell) before running the cell. This avoids those pesky execution errors when you realize you started a cell in the wrong mode. Thank you @mootari for submitting this issue! [#210]
More Open Graph meta tags
We added many more meta tags for user profiles, notebooks, and collections. Now, when you copy Observable links on twitter, facebook, and other sites, they will look so much better! Thank you @abenrob for reporting the bug! [#407]
