It should be called Ouroboros ;-)

Having Medium on top is a weird choice in 2026, I find. It's been years since Medium was anything but a spam platform, and with the age of LLM-generated writing the whole thing can be written off. I don't even click on any Medium links anymore, it's so rarely worth it.

If you’re building open-source, I have a directory you can also submit your product on:

opensource.builders

"X are Y but Z is real." Closed tab.

Does it list itself?

brings me back, man

I remember sitting there submitting my geocities website to every search engine and website that would accept it under the sun

good times

boosting DR rating is the biggest psyop of indie hackers: it's temporal and has zero effect on anything. All my websites are 3 to 6 DR points. https://mdview.io has 5 DR and brings in 500 uniq users per day organically

Site logo is a bad UX idea.

I demand a submission directory of submission directories!!! :)

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but backlinks has never been less important for SEO than they are right now.

Google has slowly de-prioritized them as a ranking signal over time due to the constant abuse, the death of the blogosphere (the vast majority of websites are now corporate blogspam with few legitimate organic links), and the fact that every major social platform now de-ranks posts with external links in them (to keep people on-site).

And as far as I know the crawlers in LLMs don't use backlinks as a signal at all.
