Hi David,

Thanks for your comments. Actually, the platform is already well adapted
for LLM scrapers. Firstly, everything is server-side rendered, making it
easy for any crawler to get semantically proper HTML. Secondly, we have the
following URL https://zookeeper-website.vercel.app/llms-full.txt for LLMs
to get all the content in markdown. I think it's enough for them, is there
anything else we could do?

Regards,
Yurii
