    That would be a nice gesture and I think I’ll do that in future, if I have the spoons.

    @moseschrute@lemmy.world have you considered adding “Powered by Blorp” with a link to your site at the bottom of the left column? That way every copy of the software has your stamp on it and SEOs you.

      Thought about it. Blorp is a client side rendered app. It makes it really easy to host since it’s just a collection of static html, JS, and CSS files, but not the best for SEO. From what I can tell, Google’s crawler can run JS but I don’t think Bing (which I think DuckDuckGo is based on?) can.

      It’s pretty difficult trying to share 99% code between web and “native” iOS/Android apps. I decided early on that SEO would add one too many constraints with not enough benefit. But SEO aside, I think linking back to the software somewhere in the UI would be nice so users can learn more about the app they’re using.
