[satsdisco]

Summary

Samizdat is a publishing platform — articles should be discoverable. Currently missing basic SEO infrastructure.

Tasks

robots.txt

• Allow all crawlers
• Point to sitemap

Dynamic meta tags

• Article pages (/a/:naddr) should have proper <title>, og:title, og:description, og:image set dynamically
• This requires either SSR/prerendering or a serverless function for OG tags
• Vercel Edge Functions could handle this for link previews

JSON-LD structured data

• Article pages should emit Article schema
• Include author, datePublished, headline, image

404 page

• Friendly "Article not found" page for invalid naddr routes
• Suggest browsing the Press

Sitemap

• Since articles are on Nostr (not a database), this might be a curated list of featured articles
• Or skip sitemap and rely on proper meta tags + social sharing

Acceptance Criteria

• robots.txt served at /robots.txt
• Article link previews work in Telegram, Twitter, Discord
• 404 page renders for invalid routes
• Lighthouse SEO score > 90
