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.

BlogBowl’s Biggest Milestone Yet - #1 on Product Hunt 🎉 A Huge Thank You ❤

Hey there,

Dan here - Founder of BlogBowl

I had so much going on after launch, that I only found time to write a post and thank everyone!

Why I believe our launch deserves to be featured 🚀

Hey everyone

After 1.5 years of building (and rebuilding), I m finally launching today - and I wanted to share why I believe our product truly deserves to be featured here on Product Hunt.

Not as a pitch - but as a story from someone who built it to solve his own problem

Solving my own pain

The biggest misconceptions about SEO in 2025 🚀

Hey there
Before our launch tomorrow, I wanted to write another post and share my experience on multiple myths about SEO.
I keep hearing people say SEO is dead.
But it s not - it s just evolving.

Here s the truth :
No LLM or AI search system will ever find you if your website sits on page 50 of Google. Visibility still starts with search.

After years in SEO, I keep seeing the same myths pop up. So here are a few I wanted to clear up
1. Just write content and you ll rank.
Nope. It doesn t work like that anymore.
You can write 100 good articles, but without backlinks, structure, metadata, and speed optimization - they ll stay invisible.

SEO in 2025-2026 is as much about technical setup as it is about the words themselves.
Try ranking a dynamic site without proper caching or structured data, and you ll understand the pain
2. SEO doesn t matter - AI/GEO will replace it.
AI can help users find answers faster, but it still depends on existing content - the content you and I publish.
If your site is properly optimized, AI models and search engines are more likely to fetch and trust your data.
