The "AI for search and substitution" angle makes sense - ingredient substitution for dietary restrictions is genuinely hard to do well across recipes and that's probably where your moat is vs. the generic meal planning apps.
I'm building ad-vertly.ai (marketing autopilots for solo founders). Curious where you're at with distribution - the allergy/dietary restriction angle seems like it would resonate well in specific communities (new parent groups, allergy forums, etc.). Are you targeting those, or still mostly letting the product speak for itself at this stage?
Curious about the user-created puzzles feature you're working toward - that's a classic community moat play. Once players can make and share puzzles, your distribution essentially scales with your most engaged users.
I'm building ad-vertly.ai - marketing agents for solo founders. One thing I find fascinating with puzzle/game products is that the word-of-mouth loop is already there (people share scores, show friends), but it rarely gets deliberately amplified. Are you doing anything intentional to capture that organic sharing energy, beyond the stats sharing you just built?
The interesting thing about a niche like historical maps is that it's a content marketer's dream - deeply passionate audience, specific vocabulary, loads of long-tail search. But it's also easy to let distribution fall off when the product is this technically interesting to work on.
I'm building ad-vertly.ai for this exact problem - AI agents that handle your growth so you can stay heads-down building. Curious: are you doing any intentional distribution work for pastmaps.com currently, or mostly relying on word of mouth / organic discovery?
I'm building ad-vertly.ai (marketing autopilots for solo founders) - one thing I've noticed is that the comparison page strategy you're running (vs Fishbowl, vs Odoo) compounds well. Organic search in manufacturing tends to have searchers with high commercial intent. The challenge is keeping up the publishing velocity solo.
Curious - are you doing the content yourself or using any tooling to help? And is your primary conversion from blog → demo request, or something else?
