The demo is magical. Excellent work!

One question about this FAQ:

   > Does ParseHub respect robots.txt?
   > We're working on an admin panel to give webmasters full transparency and control. We'll have more info soon.
What does that mean? I read it as ParseHub does not respect robots.txt, which as a content owner is a bit disappointing. Would you elaborate on your thinking?


Sorry, we'll make the wording more clear.

At the moment, ParseHub does not respect robots.txt. We do expect to add this + features for webmasters in the future, but have not had the developer cycles to do this yet.


Please add this sooner than "in the future". Obeying the robots.txt is a _MUST_ for any robots out there. This also from a content owner. Thank you.
