Tools for the parts of shipping that are not building

Building the thing is the part you know how to do. Working out what to build, getting it indexed, launching it somewhere without the post being removed, and recording a demo that does not look like a hostage video — those are the parts that quietly eat the week. We built these because we needed them for this site group.

How they fit together

  1. 1

    Decide what is worth building

    Ideas turns a few guided questions into concrete, researched directions, then expands the strongest one into a write-up with market, competitors, monetization and a first MVP roadmap.

  2. 2

    Get found, then get launched

    PageRank Status checks whether your pages can actually be indexed and turns seed keywords into a content plan; PostGuard reads a community's rules and your account before you press Post, and tells you hours later if the post quietly disappeared.

  3. 3

    Show it and keep track of it

    ReelCap records the demo that goes on the landing page, and SheetPilot files competitors, launch links and early signups into your own spreadsheet instead of a notes app you will abandon in a month.

The tools

Ideas

Web service

Your AI brainstorming partner.

Answer a few guided questions and get concrete, researched directions instead of a blank page — then turn the best one into a full report with market analysis, competitors, monetization and an MVP roadmap. Browsing the daily idea feed is free forever.

PageRank Status

Web service

SEO audits, AI content and GEO in one workspace.

Check whether your pages are indexable and what is wrong on-page, expand seed keywords into long-tail and local sets, turn them into a content plan, and tune pages to be cited by AI answer engines.

PostGuard for Reddit™

Browser extension

Know whether your post will survive — before you press Post.

Find out whether your launch post breaks a rule before you press Post, with every reason sourced — then get told if it was silently removed, which is how most launch posts actually die.

ReelCap – Web Demo Screen Recorder

Browser extension

Record web demos that point where you point.

Record the landing-page demo yourself: a highlighted cursor, click ripples, your narration and a webcam bubble, exported as MP4 or GIF from your own browser.

SheetPilot — Save to Google Sheets™

Browser extension

The web, in your spreadsheet — one click.

Send competitors, keyword lists, launch links and early signups from any page straight into your own Google Sheet — rows go from your browser to Google, never through us.

Questions people ask

Is this a suite I have to adopt all at once?

No. They are separate products with separate prices, and most people use one. They are grouped here because they cover the four jobs that surround shipping, not because they are bundled.

Will PostGuard get my launch post approved?

Nothing can promise that — moderators are people. What it does is read the rules and your own account first, so you learn about the karma minimum or the self-promotion clause before the post is removed rather than after, and it re-checks from a signed-out view so you find out if it is gone.

Do I need an agency for the SEO part?

For a small site, usually not. Most of what costs indie sites traffic is mechanical: a page that cannot be indexed, a missing title, a plan nobody wrote down. PageRank Status surfaces those from a live fetch of the page and labels them as its own checks, not as a score from Google.

Who builds these?

The same small team that runs this site group — these are the tools we use on our own launches, which is why the rough edges tend to get fixed. The about page has more.
