it's https://listingbott.com disclaimer: I'm the author of this tool too

You should make this an actual clickable link just FYI, as it will then serve as a backlink when HN renders it via an tag.

Wait tags work on HN? I thought it just auto-linkified?

Like so: https://listingbott.com

It is a nofollow link so not sure how much SEO juice you'd get out of it, but if I google Index Rusher right now, I get this HN post as the second link, where the first is the product's website itself.

A little tangential; were you satisfied with the dev work? Did you use a marketplace or an existing connection?

it's an existing connection. I've never tried to hire on a marketplace. The prices are either insane. Or if you go for an affordable price, then the quality is super low.

I you need advice, I'd say: find some folks on twitter who build MVP on fixed price. They care a lot about their reputation. Also you can see on their twitter feed how they communicate and etc

How do you handle the existential threat of relying on one product of one company (in this case Google search indexing)? Do you just hope for the best? Do you set limits on how much you will invest in your tool? Do you do some kind of fancy-pants risk analysis?

it's a good question. In my case, I have 20+ products. So if one product dies due to google cutting their apis, I will be fine. But if this was my only product, I'd be stressed tbh. I remember what happened to founders building on top of twitter api when twitter cut the apis and made it super expensive. Lot's of founders still didn't recover from that
