💡 What I noticed
I was going through the GitHub Tracker app and realized it's missing sitemap.xml and robots.txt — two files that every production web app should have. Right now search engines can't properly crawl or index the app, which means people searching for GitHub activity tracking tools won't find it easily.
It's a small addition but makes a real difference for discoverability.
🚀 What I'm proposing
Add a sitemap.xml and robots.txt to the public/ folder, and a few meta tags in index.html so search engines can properly discover and index all pages of the app.

I'd love to work on this if maintainers are open to it. Happy to discuss before starting.
