Link Checker
Hi HN, I run an affiliate site with hundreds of outbound links. Over time, these links break — products go out of stock, vendors change URLs, and sometimes media just disappears. I got tired of manually checking them, so I built check-my-links.com ...my first NextJS project. It scans my site regularly and flags broken links, missing images, or redirects — so I can fix them before users (or SEO bots) notice. It started as a tool for myself, but I figured others might find it useful too. Happy to answer questions or get feedback! Why did I not use existing tools? - Google Search Console…

Find all broken links and content on your website to imporove SEO.
Broken links negatively impact page rank and overall SEO . They create a bad user experience and signal to Google that your site is not well-maintained. Because broken links are considered a bad user experience, it will be bad for your SEO. After building a some websites myself with a lot of internal and external links, I ran into multiple problems with broken links. I deleted media which was already linked somewhere resulting in broken links. I had external links that just didn't work anymore because these websites got restructured. I had external links which were entered incorrectly. As the number of broken links increased, I started to look for a solution. I wanted a reliable,…from check-my-links.com

I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal!

So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
