Adding work

Paste a URL and Bowerdeck fills in the entry from the live page.

What gets filled in

Bowerdeck fetches the page once and reads what is already there:

  • the title tag and meta description
  • the og:image, used as the cover
  • the stack it is built on and the CMS behind it
  • an industry, and the site's health

You get a filled-in entry to correct, not an empty form. Every field stays editable.

One request per site

Bowerdeck makes one request to the URL you give it. It does not crawl or scrape the rest of the domain.

When a page hides its meta tags

If a page has no description or cover, that field is left empty rather than guessed. If a fetch fails, you are told which part failed (a 404, a timeout, a missing og:image) and the entry saves with what it did find.

The cover image is wrong

Set a cover on the project yourself. A cover you set is never overwritten.
