This tool seems like a fantastic solution for simplifying the management of robots.txt files. How does your tool handle complex scenarios where specific pages need different crawling rules based on user behavior or geographic location?
congrats on the launch of robots.txt generator. making the management of such files easier is crucial for site owners. how are users finding the custom ai bot blocking feature so far? any interesting usage patterns emerging?
Wow, what a fantastic tool! It's great to see something that simplifies such a technical aspect of website management. Kudos to the team for making it open source and free for everyone!
I love how Robots.txt Generator simplifies creating and managing robots.txt files, making it easy for all users without technical expertise to control their site interactions efficiently. Great job!
I think you need to update it again. I cannot select both 'Based on your requirements' and 'Based on your project.' I want to allow a specific user agent to access my website along with the WordPress settings, but I cannot select it as such.
I don't know if you're aware of it, but now you cannot select an item from the first list and an item from the second list (example if you want to have both wordpress default + blocking specific directories). A completely ignorant SEO person could hurt himself using this app, and an experienced SEO person doesn't need it. It's kinda of in the middle in my opinion.
The robots.txt Generator looks like a powerful yet simple tool for creating and managing robots.txt files. It’s great that it allows control over how search engines, web crawlers, or AI bots interact with your site. How user-friendly is the interface for someone new to SEO? @oscar_bustos
