Rankfast: A more affordable SEO tool

Rankfast is an SEO tool that’s 90% cheaper than established tools like Semrush and AhrefsI’ve been watching Dennis build Rankfast on Twitter for the past few months. While I love to see solo developers competing against SEO giants, Rankfast’s primary focus at launch leaves me desiring more. Alongside multiple 404s inside the app, simply showing aggregate backlinks and keywords for a domain doesn’t help me optimize, learn, or run SEO campaigns any better than my Google Search Console data. I’m sure he has plans to add much more and will be following along as he does because if he can provide the same feature set as Semrush and Ahrefs for a fraction of the price, he will definitely win a huge percentage of the market.

Journalizr: A speech-to-text journaling app.

Starting anything new from scratch is intimidating. It doesn’t matter if it’s a new design or a simple journal entry. But what if you could avoid this blank canvas syndrome? That’s what Journalizr is hoping to solve with their speech-to-text app. Avoid the daunting process of sitting down with pen and paper and instead just… talk and let the app transcribe. In a world saturated with note-taking and journaling apps, it’ll be interesting to see if this is enough of a differentiator to stand out in the crowd.

General Collaboration: A unified inbox for all of your work apps.

Nonstop switching between apps is a productivity killer. General Collaboration proposes a streamlined solution — a unified inbox with notifications from all of your work apps. It’s also got a nifty “follow” feature that lets you peek into (or spy on) your coworkers’ pending tasks.

Latitude: An open-source prompt engineering platform.

How do you ensure the accuracy of LLM outputs at scale, when “accuracy” is multivariate and context-dependent? One approach might be to try Latitude, which offers dozens of customizable evaluation templates and an AI-powered prompt editor. 

Theneo: An AI-powered tool for generating and cleaning up API documentation. 

In a world with more APIs than ever, straightforward documentation has never been more important. Theneo promises to automate beautiful docs and keep them up to date — a worthwhile value prop, given we’re all just asking ChatGPT to build the integration anyways.

Monalisa: One-click enrichment of developer profiles on Github.

Monalisa uses AI-powered search to fill in a developer’s Github bio information — email, current company background, social media, etc — and send you an email with the results. It’s probably most useful for those selling dev tools, though it doesn’t yet allow users to search for people matching specific criteria.

Text Behind Image: Puts text behind an image.

We love this whole timeline: a 16 year-old high school solo maker built this tool in only three hours with AI. The result is simple, effective, and user-friendly. It might even give a wallpaper app recently launched by a certain YouTuber a run for its money. 

This is our “staff picks” section — five products that stood out to us this week, whether because we think they’re especially promising, unique or delightful. 

With: 200 curated questions designed to deepen emotional intimacy and self-awareness. 

This product won’t change the world, but it could change your relationship. The design is gorgeous, and the questions provocative. We think it’d be a perfect date night or dinner party activity. 

ChatGPT Canvas: A new interface that lets you and ChatGPT work side-by-side on documents or code. 

OpenAI is on fire — product-wise, but maybe also internally. (What was the deal with all those resignations?) Canvas comes just a few days after Advanced Voice Mode rolled out to most users. We’re most excited about its writing shortcuts, which include inline edits, automatic reading-level adjustments, and integrated grammar and clarity checks. 

Wispr Flow: A Mac dictation app with autoedits, AI commands, and support for 100 languages. 

This is a speech-to-text app designed to speed up typing. It works across basically any CMS, and has a word-per-minute output of 220 — around three times faster than the average human type speed. Has writer’s block met its match?

CharacterSDK: Lets developers create multimodal AI characters capable of contextual understanding and real-time interaction. 

There are tons of use cases here, from personalized customer support at scale to task automation, but we can’t help feeling like the biggest potential beneficiaries here are…waifu lovers. You know, people who are in relationships with fictional characters — who have a waifu (or husbando), in Internet-speak. Replika was the go-to, but it might just have some competition.

Our engineering team is stoked about this launch. Check out the long-form section below for their detailed take.
