Tag: #hub

A week after submitting my sitemap to Google: two pages out of 251, three attempts to speed indexing up that led nowhere, and the links that actually did something.

Yesterday I took the password off the site; today I'm submitting the sitemap to Google. What I owe a text I didn't write, and what broke in the first hour.

A week of hunting for external traffic: a directory where I'm 144th in the list of alternatives, and Reddit, where the first post is a month of karma-building away. The conclusion — the only channel that depends on me alone is my own hub.

Stripe is wired up, a test payment went through on production, self-hosted analytics is running on my own server. A week of work on the hub — and from the outside the site looks exactly the same as before.

I'm hauling dictation into the hub and trying to join three products on three different technologies into one subscription. So far the one thing their economics have in common is that it's negative everywhere.

Four hours without a break — and the subtitle editor is deployed to a domain that had been dead for years. The free half works, the paid half is planned, and $250 is set aside for ads.

I went through a year and a half of my voice notes and counted sixteen projects: some in repositories, some on subdomains, some living only in my memory. I decide to build one hub: a single domain, products in categories, a blog as the foundation.
