Cool! Is this open-source or will be free? I was just about to vibe code an open-source version of this but if you are doing that, happy to participate in your beta!

Nice!! Roll with it! I think it might have legs! In between our conversations, I rolled my own (vibe coded) for my own site(s) but I can see this having legs with a lot of people - especially new vibe coders!

Rooting for you for this to take off!

Yeah, I realized that a pretty simple script could do this - just pull down your xml sitemaps, loop through the entries, and submit the ones with lastmod later than the last time the script ran. Like, literally a 5-line Ruby script.

And of course, I underestimated how much more work it is to make a SaaS app that other people would want to pay for. The biggest additions I’m adding are:

• Full logging & accountability: E.g., exactly what’s the status of this one particular URL?
• Content Intelligence: Targeted, smart analytics. I realized that since the app already has the robots.txt, list of sitemaps, and all the URLs, it can help me make sure that I’ve actually set the lastmods correctly — or that I’m publishing on the schedule I think I am. In development I’m working on a histogram for each website showing URLs in buckets by age. It’s already helped highlight issues I didn’t know I have: I thought I’d have URLs many years old, but it shows them all as < 30 days, which is not what I expected.
