I'm giving away linkth.at, the link in bio tool I built with Cursor for my course. Interested? [email protected] Bonus points if you're signed up to practicalprogrammatic.com!

I’ve had a few enquiries about playbooks.com but no serious offers for the domain yet. Not much of a domainer but think it would be good for sales/marketing type project. Where is the best place to sell a name like this? (already tried to reach @dharmesh.com for HubSpot! 😂)

Holy shit, if o3 is as good as these benchmarks seem then we’re all out of a job!

We just shipped a TON of new WordPress features on createpages.com, including: - Static or variable category/tags per page - Support for ACF, Yoast & Rank Math - Set first image as featured - Set custom slugs and post authors - Randomize post dates Webflow next... 👀

SEO is dead

Getting very close to $1k MRR on Create Pages Still don’t think we’re close to product-market fit but making progress slowly.

IF… IF… I were to do some very limited programmatic SEO consulting next year, would anybody be interested? Looking to work with SaaS businesses with some good traction as I think that’s a sweet spot right now. Drop me an email hello[at]practicalprogrammatic[.]com

Cursor: deletes random parts of your code not to do with the edit and breaks your component Windsurf:

Next year I'm going to sell playbooks·com. Great domain, I just don't have the right idea for it and want to focus on other things. Email me ian@playbooks·com if interested! I already tried @dharmesh but he didn't reply 😥 x.com/iannuttall/...

My monthly reminder that I need to stop building new projects...

It's STILL a niche tactic and almost nobody is doing it (but you really should be!) 1. Use your own, unique data 2. Combine it with AI + conditional logic 3. Create targeted pages at scale Seeing so many examples of pSEO thriving through algorithm updates

Both Cursor and Windsurf have been pretty bad for me lately and spent hours wrangling relatively simple tasks. I think Anthropic is struggling with load and changing things on the backend to compensate. Today it was trying to send errors to ray() when I have never had that package installed 😵‍💫

Hmm. Maybe a marketplace where people list their starter packs and you can bid to get your name listed. Might need to check out the API...

So @a7fort.bsky.social convinced me to do a 50% Black Friday sale on Create Pages 😰 Available for Pro and Business on monthly or annual plans. If you want to use programmatic SEO to grow your product but don't have time to do it all yourself, give us a try! createpages.com

If Bluesky could just add me automatically to every starter pack that would be really beneficial 🤞

I'm discounting my no-code and Next.js pSEO courses from $37 to $7 for Black Friday. These are a small part of my full course & would be perfect for beginners to get started. All proceeds will go towards lots of presents for my pets ❤️ Discount links in the reply below ↓

Somebody asked about adding a calculator to programmatic SEO pages and I think v0 is a great option for this. Build a tool that accepts parameters in the URL and then add an iframe to your template with variables from your dataset. Instant dynamic compound interest calculator!

My take: Coding with AI will become pretty much language agnostic, but will ultimately push the winner-takes-all framework because it has been trained on the most data.
