# 3dash.in — quoting software for 3D print shops.
#
# The public surface is small on purpose: the marketing page, the live demo,
# the API reference, the trial signup and the legal and security pages. Everything a
# shop reaches after signing in is off-limits to crawlers — those pages are
# behind auth anyway, so indexing them only ever produces a login screen in
# the results.
#
# /embed is the widget document itself. It is loaded in an iframe on a shop's
# own site and must stay crawlable-by-nobody: on its own it is a configurator
# with no shop resolved, which is a thin near-empty page and exactly the kind
# of thing that dilutes a small site.

# ── Why almost nothing is disallowed here ────────────────────────────────────
# Disallow and noindex do not stack — they conflict. A disallowed URL is never
# fetched, so the crawler never reads the noindex meta inside it, and a page
# with any inbound link can still be listed URL-only with no snippet. The way
# to guarantee a page stays out of the index is to LET it be crawled and let it
# say noindex itself.
#
# So every signed-in surface and the widget document carries its own noindex
# meta and is deliberately absent from the list below. Naming them here would
# both weaken the noindex and hand a reader of this file a directory of the
# private surface — robots.txt is the first place anyone looks for exactly that.
#
# What remains disallowed is only what has no HTML to carry a meta tag.

User-agent: *
Allow: /

# Server routes. These return JSON, so there is no meta tag to state a
# preference and no page worth crawling.
