Internal Linking for Webflow [ https://linkcherry.com ]

I've been working on an internal linking tool that actually understands your content, instead of just matching keywords.

The problem: Manual internal linking research doesn't scale. You grep for keywords, miss semantic relationships, and end up with orphan pages that never rank.

The approach:

  - Crawl → Extract → Vectorize → Cluster → Score
  - Build a link graph showing actual internal link structure
  - Use semantic similarity to find content relationships
  - Prioritize by: relevance × page authority × orphan status × implementation effort
  - Output exact placement with anchor text suggestions
What I learned:

  - Keyword matching finds ~60% of good opportunities; semantic analysis catches the rest
  - Most sites have 20-30% true orphans (no inbound links)
  - Anchor text optimization is the #1 thing people get wrong
If you're on Webflow, I'm specifically building integrations for your platform and need beta testers.

You'll get the full internal linking report (complete analysis, not a limited demo) in exchange for feedback.

Comment below or email me, if you want in.

Hi HN, I am working on Circuitscript, a language based on python to describe electronic schematics: https://circuitscript.net/ . A basic IDE (called the Bench) to try Circuitscript is available online: https://bench.circuitscript.net/ I have created a usb-uart converter board with the CH340 chip. The complete schematic was coded with Circuitscript and then imported as a netlist into kicad pcbnew to do the pcb layout.…

Hey, this is neat. It's pretty much Turtle for circuits. You could have called it CircuitTurtle!

I don't do a lot of circuit design, but I'm more of a visual person so I feel like I would be more likely to draw this in something like KiCad and then want to export it to this format to make diffs simpler.

https://easel.games

A beginner-friendly programming language for 2D games where multiplayer is automatic. Intended to be an engaging way for teenagers to learn to code by making games they can play with their friends. Like a blend of Scratch and Roblox. I've been working on this for 3 years!

I'm still building https://techposts.eu - the Hacker News for Europe! Some stats so far: - 200 users - 378 startup jobs - 500+ posts - 2800+ funding rounds - 1700+ startup companies - 5000+ investors The next part of the project is Tech Posts Intel: a lead gen tool using statistical methods to predict which companies should have a funding round coming soon. I'm hoping to soft launch it this week. I'd love to hear any…

May I provide feedback. The underline on every post, makes it hard to read.

Working on new code review tooling specifically for reviewing your own branches/commits when you use an "AI Agent" to assist with writing code. It seems all of the tools people are building in this space attempt to automate away the review, but I want better tools for reviewing (and tracking tech debt) in the code I just generated locally. Will publish here soon

Looking forward to seeing this!

Been making a few different sideprojects:

1. https://app.evvl.ai - a privacy focused Eval tool that you can download and compare outputs from different AI models (bring your own key)

2. https://dnsisbeautiful.com - an extremely clean and fast DNS lookup tool to track propagation across the different networks.

3. https://finalfinalreallyfinaluntitleddocumentv3.com/ - this is a Mac only file renaming tool (you drag and drop "screenshot1.png" onto it and it renames it to "dns-results.png" for you via local AI models. Though in true side project fashion the site looks kind of borked at the moment.

I built https://measuretocut.com after too many DIY projects ended with another trip to the hardware store. It figures out how much material you actually need and how to cut it to minimize waste or costs. When I released it in December it just handled 1D cuts for things like boards, bars, and pipes. You enter what you need, and it lays everything out visually on stock lengths. This morning I released the 2D sheet cut…

Wow, yes. I actually like the puzzle of figuring out the optimal cutsheet for my personal projects, but I imagine contractors or cabinet builders would get a ton of use out of this.

decided to learn a low level language since I never wrote any and I'm self taught dev, created this abomination of interpretation of kilo.c in zig: https://github.com/kyhyy/kz

Soon will add readme and syntax highlighting for zig itself (was too scared to deviate from C guide lol)

I'm building a tiny experimental message board / ...game? called Isles ( https://isles.app/about ). The short pitch is that when you sign up you're randomly assigned to a small island, and you can only interact with people on that island. Randomly, islands link up and you can migrate/explore the other island. I wanted to play with ideas of cultural exchange on a really small scale. I don't have any regular users yet,…

Interesting novel concept.

With something like subreddits, people congregate because of a common interest. There's a clear topic on what people should be chatting about.

I don't know how far you'll get slotting a bunch of strangers with no clear direction on the topic.

How does the island hoping work? I don't see a "Change island" button. I'm assuming it's because there's only 1 island right now?
