What about bots (search engines, social media bots, etc.)? If a web app has both static content and dynamic content (based on data in the firebase db) how can bots see a rendered version of the page. Do you have a way / plan for users to install middleware to check for bots and if so return pre-rendered content. ( Middleware details: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:8k8JuuU... ). Thanks in advance!
Great question. This is a very real pain point with dynamic content in today's world of bots / crawlers. Many sites right now are completely or partially invisible to crawlers.
As you point out, pre-rendering content is the prescribed way to solve this and there are some existing solutions (prerender.io, brombone, etc.) that are a good start, but this is still a confusing / hard problem for people to solve when they'd like to focus on building their app instead.
So we're keenly looking into how we can best integrate with these sorts of services or provide our own solution as part of our hosting offering. Stay tuned!
