I’m working on a simple website generator for developers and content creators.
I’ve already included everything a user would want for a complete website, including a robots.txt, sitemaps, perfect Lighthouse seo score, rich snippets, and a ton of other stuff.
Should I consider adding an auto generated security.txt file along side the robots.txt file for users?
Do you’all think a security.txt file is something users would want in 2023? Or would it look stupid and confusing?
IMO, including those generated .txt files is a small[ish] feat that's important to those that are looking for it, and benign to those that don't need it or know what it is.
I suspect most users who use a site generator would be happy with more "automagic"—especially if it were 1. easy to config or turn off and 2. addressing important things like security-related contact info, or how a web-scraping bot should respect your domain.
Also: "simple" generators often veer into "complicated" territory by adding crap features. Elegant appears to lack crap features; IMO, adding *.txt would not complicate or confuse.
Hey thank you for the kind words!! No crap features here :)
We have started with a basic clean foundation, and are now in the process of building up all the essential features an app owner would want, and none of the crap they wouldn't lol.
