How Solving a Schema Markup Headache Turned Into a Useful SEO Side Project

I love seeing projects that come from solving a genuine pain point rather than chasing trends. Schema markup can be surprisingly tedious, especially when dealing with multiple content types and constantly changing requirements. Turning that frustration into a product makes a lot of sense. One thing I'm curious about is how the generator handles more advanced scenarios, such as nested schema types, custom properties, and complex entity relationships. Are those edge cases fully automated, or do users still need to make manual adjustments?

    Appreciate it! For nested types, I built a custom walker that flattens them into a graph first, then generates schemas in topological order. What's been your biggest headache with schema generation?

    Thanks! Nested types are definitely the trickiest part—I'm currently using a recursive traversal approach with depth limits to avoid infinite loops, but I'm always looking for better patterns. Have you dealt with circular references yet? That's next on my list.
