Hey IH π
Quick update on WebsitePublisher.ai β the AI-native website publishing platform I've been building solo from Meppel, The Netherlands.
The context: After launching in March, I spent early April on marketing and directory listings (15+ platforms now). Around April 17, I switched back to building mode. What followed was the most productive 11 days I've had.
What shipped:
Visual Editor v2 β inline text editing, drag-and-drop images, context menus, lightbox, mobile support, guided tour. Users can now edit visually without AI for every small change.
Dashboard v2 β feature-complete. ChatGPT OAuth auto-connect, social media per project, team access, tip system.
New integrations β LinkedIn posting, BYO SMTP email, API proxy. Plus an internal cookbook so new integrations follow a repeatable pattern.
Custom domains β full CNAME flow with DNS validation before certificate requests.
AI Coach β 26 languages, faster generation, better error handling.
The numbers: 69 tasks, 55 MCP tools, 9 AI platforms, multiple client projects delivered alongside.
What I learned:
Ship in batches, market in batches. Alternating weekly doesn't work for me. Better: 2 weeks building, then a couple days marketing.
The Integration Cookbook was a force multiplier. Once documented, adding LinkedIn + SMTP took hours instead of days.
Visual editing changes everything. Before: every typo went through AI. Now: users fix it in 2 seconds. AI handles the big stuff.
What's next: More client projects, spam protection layers 2-4 (the bots found us π ), AppSumo application is in.
