What it does
CloakScan detects when a website shows different content to search engines vs real users — a practice called cloaking that can destroy your rankings overnight. Paste any URL and instantly compare what Googlebot sees vs what real visitors see, with a 0–100 risk score. ✓ No plugins or server access required ✓ Side-by-side content diff (bot vs user) ✓ Scheduled monitoring with email alerts ✓ Full audit trail for client reporting ✓ Free to use — no account required
CloakScan detects cloaking attacks on your client websites — when hackers serve spam to Googlebot while hiding it from real visitors. Zero plugins, no server access. Just a URL.
A free scan tells you what is happening now. CloakScan keeps watching what visitors and search engines see, detects hidden changes, and alerts you before rankings drop. No plugins, no server access. A live view of recent cloaking detections across the latest scan window. CloakScan Studio gives you a full picture of what crawlers actually see — scan history, risk scoring, automated alerts, and side-by-side diff reports. No plugins, no server access needed. Built for freelancers and agencies managing WordPress and CMS client sites. No plugins, no server access, no developer required. Dual crawl: real browser vs Googlebot, headless render, screenshot diff and structured data comparison.…from cloakscan.com

But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
