In our house we have 2 people with anaphylactic allergies and 3 others with intolerances which makes feeeing everyone a minefield.
I built an app this week to help with the shopping- scan the bar code and look up against a global food database to check against a list of allergens that you populate.
There are other uses which we can build into this.
Can you let me know if it would be useful to you or someone you know?
I built a neat SEO tool and am using it but when a 3rd party user tried it cloudflare blocked the bit from crawling.
I believe this will kill any real world functionality? How do the big boys like AHrefs/Neil Patel etc get past this?
Been researching where to actually get dofollow links for your site. Here's what I found:
The Problem:
Most UGC platforms (Reddit, Quora, Medium) switched to nofollow years ago. Finding dofollow on user-generated content platforms is actually pretty tough.
And before you ask: posting to your own blog doesn't count. Yes, it's technically a dofollow link. But nobody will find it. That's the whole problem you're trying to solve — your blog doesn't have the domain authority yet to get discovered by Google or readers. That's why you're posting elsewhere.
The UGC Sites That Still Give Dofollow:
Business Directories:
Not as useful for UGC but if you are collecting good quality backlinks worth submitting
What's missing?
This is what I've found so far. Drop your suggestions below — what am I missing? Any other UGC platforms or directories that still give dofollow links?
And if you're serious about ranking, tools like SEO Parasite are worth a look. It crawls your competitors, finds the keywords they're ranking for, and generates article drafts tailored to those gaps. Much easier than guessing what to write about.
I’ve been testing different traffic tools recently, and I ran into something interesting that I think a lot of founders overlook.
There are two completely different types of “traffic tools” on the internet:
---
This is the old-school model where you “earn credits” by loading other people’s websites in a background browser, and then spend those credits to get “traffic” to your own site.
The problem is simple:
• It’s not real attention
• It’s not real engagement
• It doesn’t help SEO
• It doesn’t convert
• It just inflates numbers
Autosurf traffic is basically a vanity metric generator.
It looks good on a dashboard but does nothing in the real world.
---
Instead of fake sessions, this model is based on real people sharing real links across their actual social accounts.
That means:
• Real humans
• Real audiences
• Real clicks
• Real reach
• Real engagement signals
A single genuine share on X, Facebook, Pinterest, Reddit, or LinkedIn can create a chain reaction of impressions and clicks. Autosurf traffic can’t do any of that.
---
The big difference
Autosurf = fake attention
Share-based distribution = real distribution
One gives you numbers.
The other gives you reach.
If you care about SEO, brand building, or actual customers, the second model is the only one that matters.
---
Why this matters for small creators and indie founders
Most people don’t need more “traffic”.
They need more distribution.
Real shares → real people → real outcomes.
Autosurf tools are basically noise.
Share-based tools are signal.

If anyone’s interested, I’m building a tool around this idea because I got tired of fake traffic systems. Happy to share more about how it works if people want.
