Make your AngularJS, EmberJS, or BackboneJS website crawlable by Google
http://www.BromBone.com I posted “Tell HN: My Web App has 13 Users” 3 months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5386966). Over time, it grew to 150 (free) users, but retention was pretty much zero. I was trying to cast a wide net and offer a generic “headless browser as a service”. It turned out I had make a service that was a little helpful to many people, but didn't really solve anyone's problem completely. I finally took the advise offered in that thread.

What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch

It turned out I had make a service that was a little helpful to many people, but didn't really solve anyone's problem completely. I finally took the advise offered in that thread. I focused on a problem I understood, and solved it completely instead of just offering a helpful tool. Instead of a “hosted headless browser” BromBone is now a complete solution for people who want their javascript websites indexed by Google. BromBone.com - The javascript SEO problem has been solved. Google can't index javascript driven webpages. The accepted solutions have been: 1. Run your own PhantomJS server to render snapshots and serve the snapshots to Google (a real pain). 2. Accept that your pages won't be listed on Google. With BromBone you don't have to either. You just have to make a small change to your .htaccess file. BromBone crawls your websites, runs your javascript in a web browser, and saves the rendered page. When Google crawls your site, proxy the requests to BromBone, and we'll send the rendered snapshot to Google. Smile. Your javascript driven website is on Google.

- MSMy side project that searches the web for technologies2011 · ▲22
Hello HN! I've been working on http://underthesite.com for the last month and now think it is ready for some full strength HN feedback. What do you guys think? It crawls up to 10 pages of a given site while you wait, looking for community-provided CSS / XPath selectors and regular expressions. Additionally, I'd like to appeal to you to submit matchers for technologies that you care about. Technologies are easy to add, so add your favorite jQuery plugins, analytics tools, client-side node.js wrappers, what have you. I'm going to be running a large crawl in the next few days and want to make…

Hello HN, I had some christmas free time over the last two weeks (Merry Christmas btw ;-)) and used that time to completely recreate the website of my app[1]. I used all the fancy new tools. I didn't know some of them when I started. What was my goal? * Pretty website * Blazing fast * Mobile first * SSR * Webp support * Generally all the best website practices (high lighthouse score) What did I use? * Tailwindcss (https://tailwindcss.com/) * Tailwind Components (https://tailwindui.com/) * React (https://reactjs.org/) * ViteJs…
- IBI built an end user announcement service that needs no deploys2024 · ▲8
Hey everyone! My name is Will. I’ve been leading engineering teams for over two decades. Also, first time HN user here! One of the common pains I’d encounter in nearly every product I managed was alerting end users to infrequent events like outages, global announcements, beta launches, planned maintenance, etc. We’d always need to deploy custom, one-off modals or other alerts and then have to remember to revert them later. It was always a time sink for a developer to put aside what they were working on to make this happen. This Is Not A Drill! is a simple-to-install JS SDK that makes it…
- RMReleasing my own SEO tools, free of charge2018 · ▲17
Hello HN! Being a software engineer and an SEO guy I wrote a heap of tools and scripts to make my life easier. Now I've decided to share some of them with the community, and made a small site where I will be publishing them. They are all completely free (yes, free forever) and you don't even need to sign up for the site. Just use the thing as you like, no limits. Currently you can access 4 instruments: - Backlink retriever - Thin/weak content analyzer - Traffic trend analysis - Visitor list retriever I am planning on releasing more free tools with time, and trying to stay original by…

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
