About

Hey everyone 👋 I’m Dan, a programmer passionate about building tools that simplify the web. I’ve been working on BlogBowl for the past 1.5 years, starting from an open-source blogging engine and slowly evolving it into a full AI-powered SEO platform. My goal has always been simple - make it effortless for anyone to create, manage, and grow a blog that actually ranks. Before BlogBowl, I built a few projects that never took off because setting up a proper blog was always too much work. That pain became the motivation to build something better - fast, clean, and open by design.

We won #1 Product of the Day yesterday so I made this AI image to capture the feeling 😂

This is exactly what it feels like

Two years of building. Nights and weekends. One very chaotic launch day. And then this.

RankSpot won #1 Product of the Day. Huge thank you. ❤️

Hey there, Dan here, Founder of RankSpot

Yes, that is my actual reaction to winning Product of the Day

SEO is dead. (They've been saying this since 2000.)

Every few years something is supposed to kill SEO. And every time, it doesn't.

Here's the actual timeline

1997 - First "SEO is dead" article ever published. Search engines were called a "dead-end technology."

2003 - Google's Florida update penalized keyword stuffing. Black hat SEOs declared SEO was over.
