Launch new projects faster: feedback wanted before launch (I won’t promote)

Hi all! For the past two years I’m running a B2B SaaS that helps websites improve SEO, grow organic traffic, and get discovered in AI chats (SEO/AEO/GEO).

Disclosure: this is feedback request only. No links, no brand names, no promo.

B2B difficult to scale with long sales cycles, onboarding, and manual configuration and integrations. It funded a team and some savings. Now I want to make it self-serve for a broader public. Also automating most of the things we were doing manually for the clients.

What we wanted to solve is integration in a few clicks. That forced the service to become a proxy in front of client’s sites, which meant issuing TLS certs, managing DNS, and operating as a CDN. The SEO tool became edge infrastructure at that very moment.

What it’s designed to do:
- Fast discovery by crawlers and AI agents: Serve fast, clean HTML to AI agents and crawlers so new sites are readable by LLMs from day one
- Add meta tags on the fly: Fill missing metadata in responses to bots, crawlers, and agents
- Speed up discovery in search engines: Automatic IndexNow submission of new and changed URLs
- AI agents analytics and insights: Cookie-free, JS-free analytics for crawlers, bots, and AI-agents.

Questions that I need help with:

  1. Is “readable by AI + indexed fast” a real pain for new projects, or a nice-to-have?
  2. Would you put a proxy/CDN in front of your site for this?
  3. What would you expect from a free tier?

Building a proxy that serves clean HTML to AI agents and crawlers: looking for feedback (I won’t promote)

Hi all! During the last two years I’m running a B2B SaaS that helps websites with SEO, increase organic traffic, and get discovered by AI chats (SEO/AEO/GEO).

Disclosure: this is feedback request only. No links, no brand names, no promo.

B2B works well, but it pains to scale, has long sales cycles, onboarding, manual configuration and integration. It funded a team and brought us some savings. Now I want to make it self-serve SaaS for a broader public.

Our main shift from expensive manual integration to integration in a few clicks. That changed service a lot and it has to sit as a proxy in front of a website, which means issuing TLS certs, managing DNS, and operating as a CDN. The SEO tool became edge infrastructure at that moment.

What it does:
- Fast discovery by crawlers and AI agents: Serve fast, clean HTML to AI agents and crawlers so new sites are readable by LLMs from day one

- Add meta tags on the fly: Fill missing metadata in responses to bots, crawlers, and agents

- Speed up discovery in search engines: Automatic IndexNow submission of new and changed URLs

- AI agents analytics and insights: Cookie-free, JS-free visitor analytics for crawlers, bots, and AI-agents.

Questions:

  1. Is “readable by AI + indexed fast” a real pain for new projects, or a nice-to-have?
  2. Would you put a proxy/CDN in front of your site for this?
  3. What would you expect from a free tier?

B2B worked, but it meant long sales cycles, onboarding, and manual configuration and integration. It funded a team and some savings. Now I want to make it self-serve for a broader public.

First goal: integration in a few clicks. That forced the service to sit as a proxy in front of client sites, which means issuing TLS certs, managing DNS, and operating as a CDN. The SEO tool became edge infrastructure at that moment.

What it’s designed to do (pre-launch, nothing production-proven yet):
- Fast discovery by crawlers and AI agents: Serve fast, clean HTML to AI agents and crawlers so new sites are readable by LLMs from day one

- Add meta tags on the fly: Fill missing metadata in responses to bots, crawlers, and agents

- Speed up discovery in search engines: Automatic IndexNow submission of new and changed URLs

SEO-first CDN proxy

I’m working on “SEO-focused alternative to Cloudflare”. Please share your thoughts, I have two questions now:

  1. What would make you try a new paid CDN service while you have free and well established Cloudflare?
  2. Have you ever wanted to move off Cloudflare? Why? And have you moved or stayed at the end?

I don’t need you to sign up (it’s still in development) just want to know what do you think

Are limits nerfted again?

I’m on x20 plan. Last and current weeks I burn through limits just in 3-4 days, while I wasn’t able to get to 100% ever before. Even dropping down to Sonnet this week to make it last longer, but already at 50% less than 24 hours after my last weekly cycle.

Same setup, same project, same skills and subagents, same kind of tasks.

Do you feel and observe the same? What do you do about it? Any tips and tricks to last longer?

Claude is 529 overloaded and status page has wrong SSL certificate

Claude falling into retry loop with 529 erro, and their status page won’t open due to SSL/TLS certificate mismatch. So I cannot check which models are up or down to switch.

How was your day going?

UPDATE 1: looks like switching to older models of Opus 4.6 or 4.8 works just fine

Bridge CDN: pre-launch phase has began

So I'm working on something exciting and aiming really high — compete with CloudFlare in CDN, DNS, and edge computing niche, crazy right?

I've built my first CDN years ago around 2012, that time "Content Delivery Network" wasn't even a broadly known thing, niche had two large players -- Brightcove and Akamai, their entry price was 25K+ and was beyond what we needed at that time. Tech news outlets were full of DDoS attack articles (it was cheap and allowed putting your competitor's website down with ease), and Chrome browsers were about to block all websites without SSL/HTTPS with scary warning of "not encrypted connection". That were times when Cloudflare got its spin with free for all SSL-certs (thanks to Let's encrypt foundation).

Nowadays we are facing another major shift in who's the primary user of the web, do you still think it's humans? Wrong, AI-agents, crawlers, and bots are dominating in the web since 2025, -- automated traffic you new primary content consumer.

The main Bridge CDN goal is to bridge the gap between web that was build for humans and its new main consumers. With built-in SEO/AEO/GEO tools and services bots will be able to access your website and its pages within milliseconds and understand its context with ease. All new and changed pages will get sent to search engines via IndexNow protocol for the fastest discovery, and your devs won't need to worry about meta-tags ever again -- our backend will add all missing fields, compose JSON-LD, and OG link-preview image on the fly.

Shipped with everything what you'd expect from mature network provider:
- Global scale CDN and caching for static assets
- WebSec: DDoS, WAF, OWASP
- Instant DNS
- Edge computing (workers)
- Analytics and insights for human users and AI agents
- Teamwork
- And of course "one click" migration form Cloudflare

250 credits to a new ChatGPT Desktop user

I have ChatGPT Desktop invites (only works if you have never used their Desktop app before). Works via direct email invitation.

DM me your email address and we both will get 250 credits (it’s like 1 week of use on Plus plan using Terra, or few weeks using Luna)

Scammers go so lazy

Usually it takes me a minute to check if emails I have received not real, scam, or phishing. Not anymore, I see default Claude design patterns right away

Encourage Claude Code to use subagents and available skills with one liner

If your development environment has project scoped skills and subagents settings. It doesn’t mean it will be utilized on every run.

When needed add at the end of the prompt:

Use available skills and dedicate work to subagents as needed.

Mental fatigue and pressure

Am I only one feeling pressure in pushing more things done when weekly limits are about to revolve and I haven’t reached 100%?

Even if I’m at 98% and have a few hours left before reset I’m trying to squeeze as much as I can, opening parallel session, getting to tasks that were waiting for a while, etc. getting rushed and overwhelmed.

In other cases when I reached my limits earlier when expected I let myself rest until weekly reset, feeling like that were productive sessions and a week.

How do you feel about limits? What do you do after reaching them? And how do you feel when not reaching 100% before week revolves?

And yes, my workflows are mostly about coding.

One short prompt that helps me a lot

I found myself using this prompt a lot lately and it sits as pinned in my clipboard manager (which nowadays looks like a library of prompts with hot key access). It saves tokens, limits and my time.

Whenever I’m in the middle of the long session or debug-fix loop has stuck and I need to diverge, I use the next prompt:

“Write short and concise prompt for the next phase as per current plan in terse and to the point manner with no fluff, so I can resume in a new session.”

Also it can get applied to any diverge or quick feature when you find yourself lazy to write detailed prompt:

“Write short and concise prompt for the {{your-task}} in terse and to the point manner with no fluff, so I can start in a new session.”

Claude supports OSS maintainers

I often get question about “what do you get as an Open Source maintainer” or “how do you monetize Open Source”. I don’t have simple answer, the shortest one is “this is something that I simply can not stop doing, no reason, no monetary interest”.

Sometimes OSS maintainers and contributors get invited to various events and venues — that’s always nice. And sometimes like today we get perks for free!

It’s a great initiative by Anthropic and Claude Code to support OSS maintainers and contributors with 6 months of their TOP plan. Thanks a lot. More frequent updates to my packages and quicker responses to tickets, issues, and PRs are coming.
