building with @alok_indiemaker has been a game changer

he's the business guru

I've got the engineering obsession

together we move faster and make better decisions

if you're a solo founder considering a co-founder, find someone who complements your weaknesses

autorank progress update

this week we shipped:

- SERP analysis pipeline (top 10)
- heading structure extraction (h1, h2, h3 patterns)
- competitor gap identification

next: pulling insights from high-authority sources

the goal: write content that's better than what currently ranks

#buildinpublic

SEO tip that most indiehackers ignore:

topical clusters > random blog posts

writing 10 related articles around one keyword beats 10 scattered posts every time

google rewards depth, not breadth

this is baked into what we're building with AutoRank

#seo #buildinpublic

confession time

I love shipping code

I don't love spending 4 hours writing a single blog post, researching keywords, analyzing competitors, optimizing for SEO

but distribution is crucial if you want to survive as an indiehacker

so we're solving this problem for ourselves first

#buildinpublic

we're building AutoRank

an AI engine that handles your entire content pipeline:

- keyword research
- SERP analysis
- topical clustering
- writing SEO-optimized posts
- publishing to your CMS
- building internal links

while you focus on your product

and woke up to this embarrassing move by anthropic team

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46549823

#claude #ai

it is official

we're building an AI content creation

it will:

- perform SERP analysis
- steals the missing insight from the top 10 pages
- build up your internal linking
- stay grounded with facts from high authority sources


build for indiehackers by indiehackers

#buidinbpublic #indiehackers

imagine a world where you would focus on product development while SEO optimized content creation is done for you in the background

imagine all it takes is a sign-up and 1 few button clicks to rank on SE for your desired keywords

more on that to come

#buildinpublic #indiehacking

how do you maximize what AI has to offer in 2026 to create a scalable content creation system?

don't you like spending your precious time on dev rather than hours on keyword research, SERP analysis, writing SEO optimized blog posts, creating internal linking, etc.?

#buildinpublic #indiehacking

call me crazy

but after 7+ years, I switched from vscode to neovim

- only one CTRL + Tab to switch between browser & terminal
- tmux backed into my workflow
- no bloated GUI apps eating RAM
- no telemetry data sent to microsoft

ask me anything

#programming #sysadmin

let's get real a little

I am a builder.. an engineer by heart..

I enjoy shipping codes to prod but not to distribute my product with SEO

do you scale your content creation and have enough time to develop a reliable product?

more on that to come later

#buildinpublic #indiehacking

I've officially joined forces with Alok Kumar

he is an indiehacker with one successful exit so far and more experienced in building a bootstrapped business that I am

more on what's to come later

you will hear more from me, and more consistently so

github ci failure

now wtf am I supposed to do with this and why is this my problem? 😤

if you haven't failed a few times in your indiehacking journey, then what are you even doing here?

reddit post screenshot

Some posts just naturally go "viral" because people resonate with the content 🤷

I can never figure out virality but by keeping consistent, at least I can increase my luck 🥂

#programming #reddit

I've been thinking about those who make it..

those who have the intersection of the Venn diagram of hustle, luck, vision

(claude suggested a better alternative: insight, execution, endurance)

I think you only need to make it once

so keep pushing my friend

#buildinpublic #indiehackers

Wow, notifuse has been on my radar for sometime but I was way too happy with Listmonk to switch

look at the latest release... it's bringing in automation 😍

fedora is awesome 😍

I don't even wanna get rich..

not more than sustaining myself and my family anyway..

but more important than that, I just wanna prove to myself that I can do it..

that I can build and sell things

that's the main motivation

email from competitor

just when you think your idea failed...

I got an email from a competitor about backlink exchange..

I checked, I ranked 2nd on google for the topic

it's crazy

business is still a world of wonder to me... never ceases to surprise me 🫠

that's it. I'm done.

atuin + ble.sh killing my terminal

10-30s startup wait with 191k+ history entries

jumping ship to try ddworken/hishtory and cantino/mcfly

moving from slow & rusty to nimble & fast.
