Just wanted to post a quick follow-up on this project for anyone who might see it.
After the initial launch, I spent some time hardening the core logic and polishing the UI. I've just pushed a significant update with several improvements that make the tool much more reliable.
Here’s what’s new:
Smarter robots.txt parsing: It now correctly handles group precedence (so the most specific rule wins), wildcards (*), end-anchors ($), and rules with query strings (?) to better match how Googlebot actually interprets these files.
Better error handling: I've polished the error messages on both the frontend and backend, so it's much clearer what's happening if a URL can't be fetched or a robots.txt file is malformed.
Mobile & accessibility fixes: Pushed a few improvements for the experience on smaller screens and for better overall accessibility.
Just wanted to log the progress here as I continue to work on the tool.
Cheers.
