I’m building LaunchSaaS (https://launchsaas.org/ ) — a toolkit to help solo founders ship SaaS with fewer repeated decisions.
Recently shipped some small improvements (cache layer, email i18n), but the hardest part so far has been SEO.
This is my first time taking SEO seriously, and it’s been humbling — DR is still ~12 and trending down.
One thing I’ve found useful: comparing backlinks from Ahrefs’ free checker and Bing Webmaster Tools.
Still early, but shipping and learning steadily.
I built a MIT-licensed vite plugin (deadsimpleseo.github.io) to help with SEO for developers of React apps.
It bundles and executes a static HTML pipeline in a node vm executing within the vite process, then outputs that to a folder with an index.html for each of the .md and .tsx in your seo source folder. The result does not rely on javascript or fetching content to render, it's static HTML and there's no rehydration step.
This allows it to reuse your main app layout, headers, footers, etc.
I built it for a one page tool where I wanted crawlable links in the footer served from a standard nginx setup.
