    SEO tools that don't suck

    Positional — #4 on yesterday’s leaderboard — provides tools to create, optimize, and analyze content. We’ve been using its Optimize tool to build out our new category pages and their Content Analytics are the first legitimately helpful page analytics tools I’ve used. Given there’s a sea of AI spam-generation products masquerading as SEO tools right now, I think anything that adds real value like this is going to take off.

    Echo chamber as a service

    SocialAI is a private social network where users create an exclusive network with millions of AI followers responding to their every post. (Think of it as having your own virtual fanbase, but everyone's a bot.) I’m curious: Can interacting with AI followers really fulfill our social cravings? The novelty might wear off quickly, and let's face it — isn't the chaos of real human interactions what makes social media engaging? Plus, if it's all AI, are we just feeding our own echo chambers without any real connection?

    (Slightly) cooler terminal

    Warp is a terminal with built-in AI suggestions and a modern UI. Most of the time, I use it like any other terminal and run commands I already know. But every once in a while, it’s nice to query the AI directly in the terminal and avoid context switching by looking something up online. It’s not a radical change to my development workflow, but does smooth things out at the margins. (Though if you’re used to an integrated terminal in an IDE, switching to Warp as an external terminal might be more disruptive than beneficial.)
