SEO and Google Indexing Support for Public Apps

hey retool team and community, i am currently building an online course builder on retool and everything is going awesome with the forms and dashboard but i am hitting a massive wall with the public pages. right now theres no way to get public retool pages indexed by google. because retool is client side and we cant change metadata or meta description tags or dynamic open graph tags for socials google just sees a blank page. for a public course catalog or any public app google indexing is literally a must have feature if people search for a topic on google my app needs to show up. other platforms like bubble and lovable already have native SEO and server side rendering built in, which makes it hard to use retool for public facing stuff even though your logic is way better.

right now the only workaround is completely over engineering the app by building a separate public site on nextjs just to get SEO and then linking it back to retool which completely ruins centralization and forcing us to maintain two different stacks. if public apps could just get basic seo settings like custom meta titles, crawler friendly rendering and robots txt controls it would be a total game changer for public web apps. is anyone else dealing with this or does the team have this on the roadmap anytime soon?

Hey there @Retooler, thanks for the detailed feature request! This is a known limitation today. I have logged it internally, I will update this thread if that changes. Thanks again! :folded_hands:

Thank you @ChiEn for the consideration. Looking forward for this.
