   Excellent for discovering low competition keywords

   I've enjoyed using Ahrefs to inform content creation due to their keyword explorer being so useful for finding low difficulty keywords. I do prefer the legacy version of their site explorer in comparison to the new format so I hope that they do not retire certain elements of the platform.

• Generating Content with ChatGPT

  I’ve been using the most excellent ARefs site to get information about how good the on-page SEO is for many of my sites. Every couple of weeks, ARefs crawls the site and will give me a list of suggestions of things I can improve. And for a long time, I had been putting off dealing with one of the biggest issues – because it seemed so difficult. - Source: dev.to / 11 days ago

• Ask HN: How to Get Good at SEO?

  I recently "launched" my product by mentioning it across Twitter and Discord which led some traffic to it. However, that is not a long-term strategy. I have heard about Ahrefs: https://ahrefs.com/, but I don't want to spend $129 right now since I'm not sure whether the ROI on it would be worth it. Are there any strategies or tips you might be able to share? - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Open source Google Analytics replacement

  Posthog is pretty good but very pushy towards using their SaaS (understandably). Self hosting is not really advertised on their main site however is buried in their gh repo as a footnote [1] with indications of vague issues past 100K events/month. Haven’t delved into how to scale it past that though and they do provide some docs that I have yet to review. Also the primary repo is not FOSS, and that "100% FOSS"... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• We migrated to SQL. Our biggest learning? Don't use Prisma

  One thing that keeps coming up is that SQL equals low productivity. I don't think this is true. I think the culprit is that most developers are using to heavily abstracting SQL using ORMs like Prisma that hides the database and SQL logic. Since building a SQL generator (https://aihelperbot.com) as a side project, I have become much more proficient in SQL and even though I am also locked into Prisma, I use the... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Sales Tips for Solo Devs

  A few things I have learned over the years and in particular launching and growing my latest project[1]: 1) Track everything including errors. Know what users are using and what they aren't. Remove or rebuild less used features. 2) Find out who your users are and what they value. Ignore non-payers. 3) Economize, market, and document features. You not only need to develop and deploy features, but also to price them... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Using AI I have departed from ORM and embraced SQL

  It started with me working on a hobby project, aihelperbot.com which enables users to generate SQL using AI. It was build using the comprehensive Prisma ORM. I always found Prisma bloated and it requires almost constantly that you lookup their API for even trivial usage. Source: almost 2 years ago

• We Spent $1,500,000 on Ads Without Getting a Single Customer

  Sounds like a combination of an unpolished product with insufficient demand and wrong business model. Users today don't want to pay XXX up front for a complicated product, they want a free tier where they incrementally learn about features. I just looked up what I spend on Google Ads for a small campaign on SQL/AI related keywords for https://aihelperbot.com: - $699.95 (part of a spend $400 to get $400 deal) -... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• How I run my servers

  Neat setup. Regarding the deploy script. I have just setup a separate VPS for proxying database queries using various Node database drivers for my own project[1] and only used Github Actions managing it[2]: - add build script using Github Action that fails the entire build pipeline if code doesn't build - add deploy script (essentially a few commands ssh into your VPS and pulling, install, building and restarting)... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
