I was tired of low-quality AI content, so I built a better version. Now I am thinking about open-sourcing it.

Hey guys! When you're starting your business, spending $2,500+ per month on a content writer can be excruciating. With AI Blog Articles you can get started with your SEO with all the features you need (headings, metatags, internal linking, external linking, anchor texts and others). Please let me know your thoughts!

Back when I started my first project, I ran into the issue of getting SEO visibility and how long it takes to produce content and rank. A shortcut is to generate blog articles via AI, but the majority of the tools have low quality.

So I started experimenting with a combination of web-scraping and LLMs, and the results were far better, with content that makes a lot more sense (less "delving"...). I ended up productizing it (article-generation.com), it has all the SEO features you need (headings, metatags, internal linking, external linking, anchor texts and others).

But I believe it could be great for the OSS community to have a self-hosted version that anyone can use to get their SEO traffic started. Plus, the contributions from the community would make it far better.

Disclaimer: I expect some of you to criticize AI-generated content, and I do it as well. However, I see it as a starting point for traffic to start coming in - and that's the point where the human touch comes into play and rewrites make ton of sense.

Do you think it would be useful to make it open source? If so, what steps do you recommend to getting started in the OSS journey?
