Show HN: Decipher SEO – Topical Maps and Auto-Linking for 10x Faster SEO
Hey HN,

I poured my heart into building my first start up, Fluency, and was able to scale it with SEO. Initially, I manually optimized content and saw great results, but as traffic grew, manual efforts couldn’t keep pace. To scale further, I wanted to automate the process to produce a greater quantity of higher-quality content without taking too much time away from building the product. I started writing fragmented code to generate content and link topical clusters together. It worked—traffic spiked—but the process remained messy and time-consuming.

Seeing the potential, we built Decipher SEO to streamline this. It’s designed to automate the pain points of SEO, drastically improving efficiency. Here’s what it offers:

Topical Maps: Plan & Generate content clusters in bulk to boost relevance and rankings.

Internal Links Automation: Seamlessly connects your pages for better user flow and SEO.

External Link Automation: Simplifies outreach and backlink integration.

Time Savings: Automates repetitive tasks, freeing you to focus on strategy.

Bulk Generation: Create 100 high-quality articles monthly with ease.

Infographic Generation & Editing: Build visuals directly in the editor for richer content.

Intuitive Chat: Craft emails, posts, and more with an AI-powered assistant.

Decipher SEO is the result of our real-world SEO struggles turned into a scalable solution. Whether you’re a solo founder or a growing team, it can save you hours and supercharge your organic growth.

I’d love for you to check it out at decipherseo.com and share your thoughts. Feedback is gold—let me know what works or what could be better!

It's pretty wild how much astronomy has progressed, especially with advancements in adaptive optics, interferometry, and space telescopes. Even ground-based observatories have improved way beyond what most people would've expected a few decades ago
I don't think it's possible to build apartments or other connected houses in a way that isolates each unit from another, not without losing the efficiency / cost benefits of connected housing. Case in point, I live in a row of houses, but they just use long slabs of concrete for the flooring, creating a hard connection between the houses.

Mind you, it's fine (for me) most of the time, it's only really an issue if someone starts drilling / does anything in direct contact with the floors / walls.
Hi, is this a monolith or a series of scripts? if the latter, isolate each script enough that it could be ran with python and then do it for all the scripts. if it is a monolith, consider splitting it and working on the pieces one by one.

an old package on prod is not an issue if it is isolated and you have a plan for change, so if you have to transpile, do it and then work from the bottom.
I guess the reason that you come after me is that you feel that here's an opportunity to shittalk someone. (Which you tenchically can, even tho all of your points are wrong, or straigt up lies.)

Have you ever wondered why do you feel the need to do this?

edit: omfg I don't have time for this. In your other comment you wrote

> ... arrogant ... entitled ... fixed mindset ... Whatever it is, it's best viewed at a distance, like car crash.

Can I ask you to take your own advice, and kindly fuck off? (Including not talking to me, and not shittalking me in other threads.)
I think there's a sense in which moderns feel that the reals (or at least the rationals) are a natural category: that 5 and 0.3 are the same "kind of thing". Mathematicians talk about the distinction between different classes of numbers, but to most people they're all numbers.

Do you think that sense was shared by the ancients, or do you think that the linguistic distinction mirrored a stronger mental separation between the two? It sounds like it might have done if they had to do the work of duplicating proofs from one to the other. Did they have a single word to describe the shared concept?
I’ve definitely thought about connecting with crypto and even creating a token for payments, but I’m not sure if I can make it happen right now. Unfortunately, due to legal restrictions, I can’t use crypto at the moment.
Yeah, same here. It's a humbling feeling... realizing how tiny we are in the grand scheme of things. But also kind of amazing that, despite our smallness, we've figured out how to explore and understand the universe at this scale
My Thoughts on the Future of "AI"
Yeah I don't mind the traffic noise outside of our house - it's mostly road surface noise which is dampened to white noise, and most petrol engines aren't that loud at those speeds. But it's the occasional sports car or moped that is the most annoying. Those are getting replaced by electric models too, but I wish they did something about the noise decades ago.
It is a connection string for the direct queries, but also access to the metrics/logs via cloud specific tools. In case of AWS that's Cloudwatch. We do plan to add support for all the popular Postgres services.
Business organization is similar but people management is different. With people management you are attempting to ascertain their goals and constantly reading their communication to determine their motivation. As a leader it is up to you to set expectations and it is up to them to rise to those expectations. As for business organization the chief difference is with subordinate leaders, to put the right people in the right seats.
It won't 'protect' you. They still track you and have a shadow account for you, and sell the data. FB is a cancer that won't go away until we/you do.

You can protect yourself by blocking all 'social media buttons' (as LI or Pinterest do the same), and for FB block every domain they use and their range of IPs. But there are so many trackers that will (eventually) get the 'job' done, so you either do 'more' (replace hosts file, add firewall on your Android and block ad broker, doubleclick, adjust, mopub, google analytics, etc. etc (loooooong list).

Surveillance capitalism is not going anywhere. Where money can be made, money will be made.
A large component of interest rates is a risk premium that depends on the likelihood of a borrower defaulting.

Credit scoring significantly outperforms any other methodology for assessing default risk, including credit matricies and especially human assessments (humans are shockingly bad at assessing default risk, rarely much better than a biased coin flip).

It's all well and good to say we should get rid of credit scores, but because they are so much more effective at assessing default risk than other methods, the consequence will be significantly higher rates of default, which means more people in financial hardship, and higher interest rates generally (though especially to low risk borrowers who will now be assessed as having closer-to-average default risk)

It's also not often appreciated, but credit scoring is also the single best technique we have to stop people borrowing beyond their means and entering into financial hardship and debt spirals. There are other techniques that exist to identify at-risk borrowers but these alone aren't as good as an approach which also incorporates credit scores.

As for explainability, unfortunately the best credit models are trained using AI techniques, which results in low explainability (since the risk signals are complex and multivariate). Older GLM approaches can be used, but aren't as good, so if we want high explainability, the trade off is worse performing credit models, and thus higher borrowing costs.

Way quieter, but still noisy because of the whine of the engine and air. But also, for anything but small backyard jobs, they don't last enough or you have to end up with a backpack battery model. I'm sure that'll improve over time but for professional use, the energy density of petrol won't be beat.
My format: hello@<fullname>.xyz. It's the same domain name as my personal webpage. E.g. hello@johndoe.xyz or hello@janedoe.me
"Victorian industry" noise was only a problem at the locations themselves though, before cars and outside of cities it would have been a lot quieter than it is now.

Mind you, most suburbs are quiet.
So far, this was exactly my experience as well. Well said.

It's a bunch of scripts, a few lines long. But again, I haven't seen the totality of them and there might be edge cases with longer scripts.

I always felt this was the maximal "insane plug" size we ever got foisted. It made perfect sense at the time. It then made less and less sense, until eventually it made no sense.

As you said:

It's all relative, that is, your hearing and brain will adjust to how much ambient noise there is. Up to a point anyway, people go a bit mad if there's too much ambient noise (hence the article).

Likewise when ambient noise goes away though. There's a challenge in a sound studio somewhere that blocks out pretty much all sound, challenge being how long you can last in complete silence. Supposedly you can hear your own blood flowing in there.

It's also why people experience noise cancelling headphones as applying a 'pressure' when they first put them on; there is no pressure as such, but just the sudden absence of ambient noise their ears/brains are used to.
> How much of an overkill that might be?

It sounds like a complete waste of time. If you are talking about small code snippets then simply write new original Python to replace them.

Kind of reminds me of this Simpsons joke: "Marge, it takes two to lie. One to lie, and one to listen."
Delphi does default initialize global variables and member variables of objects. It doesn't default initialize local variables (but it should for consistency).

Inline variable declaration with initialization makes it a bit nicer. You can write:

var myVar := 25;

To initialize myVar and type inference will make it an Integer. You can specify type if needed:

var myVar : Integer := 25;

In their examples they say:

ShowMessage('obj2.n2: ' + IntToStr(obj2.n2)); // Shows 0 - uninitialized memory

But actually n2 is initialized to zero.

And in the example freeing of objects, instead of using:

obj1.Free;

They should always use:

FreeAndNil(obj1);

That will free the object and set the object pointer to nil. Any subsequent attempt to access obj1 will result in an access violation.

Yes, and the dataview plugin to visualize docs in a table, list or calendar (e.g. organized by tags, to identify their types).

I am not aware of a editable table view, but you can surely have a index per document type that contains a dataview table and go to individual docs for editing.

For me, the main thing that Obsidian lacks is formula support or more advanced reporting. I can so something with dataviewjs, or going to javascript (customJS plugin) but it gets messy quickly.

You can also get nice visualization with a little work on templates and plugins: for example, I use Obsidian for weekly personal retrospective of my diary and I have a wordcloud graph in my weekly template.

Choose a chronology that makes sense. We can see how Western ideas build, we have less clarity on how the ancient Egyptians or Chinese ideas developed, and therefore it's harder to explain to a learner.

If you're sensitive to that singular world view warping the learner's prospect, you could at each point explain similar ideas from other cultures that pre-date that chronology.

For example, once you've introduced calculus and helped a student understand it, you can then jump back and point out that ancient Egyptians seemed to have a take on it, explain it, ask the student to reason did they get there in the same way as the Western school of ideas did, is there an interesting insight to that way of thinking about the World?

Another ideas is how ideas evolved. We know Newton and Leibniz couldn't have had access to direct Egyptian sources (hieroglyphs were a lost language in their life times), but Greek ideas would have been rolling around in their heads.
Because people have a completely wrong impression of the scale of nuclear waste. In the Netherlands there is a museum inside their nuclear waste repository - you can literally walk right up to the barrels containing nuclear waste, it's open to the members of the public.

https://www.covra.nl/en/radioactive-waste/the-art-of-preserv...

And I don't remember the exact number, but I'm sure I read somewhere that all of world's highly radioactive nuclear waste(spent fuel) could fit in several olympic swimming pools - while this coal power plant produced 1000 tonnes(!!!!) a day(!!!) of coal soot. The scale is just completely incomparable. But people look at Chernobyl or Fukishima and think that the exclusion zones created by those events are inherently a feature of nuclear power - when they are not.

Ask HN: How many jobs did you apply to since you became unemployed?
A number is worth a thousand words.
In terms of having the proofs be understandable to humans, I'd say that's still a challenge. Not a fundamental challenge, but a real practical challenge still.

Lean makes the proofs verifiable, and sure to a degree understandable, but normal Lean proofs written by humans are already a challenge to understand without additional documentation, and, as with all code-generation, AI generated proofs are probably even harder to understand. There are many paths to arrive at a proof, the AI may take very messy routes that don't align with how humans create abstractions and assign meaning to break the process down into understandable steps.

In a sense all AI is understandable, nothing is hidden, you can see all the numbers inside a Transformer. Just being able to see the code might not necessarily help mathematicians too much in extracting deeper meaning and lessons from AI-generated proofs, at least not without significant additional work.

I always felt that Prolog is a super valuable dsl that I would wish to be embedded like a reflex for certain problems, but is I'll suited for most programming tasks.
I.e. have the GUI, Io etc. in language better suited to that.
if we are talking small scripts, just rewrite in python and make sure that they are called with the right interpreter. use ai if you are not acquainted with the language. ask your managers if they might want to use another language which could be compiled and save on compute time. though not popular, nim is python like, and should do the job admirably.
There's a wonderful DDJ interview with James Clark (author of expat and developer many other open source sgml and xml standards and tools like Relax/NG, and even horrible ones like XSLT ;) called "A Triumph of Simplicity: James Clark on Markup Languages and XML", in which he explains how a standard has failed if everyone just uses the reference implementation, because the point of a standard is to be crisp and simple enough that many different implementations can interoperate perfectly.

I wrote more about his work in this discussion thread about Ted Nelson on What Modern Programmers Can Learn from the Past, and reading documents from 20 years ago:

>Reading documents from 20 years ago is a mixed bag. Links usually fail horribly, which was something Xanadu was trying to solve, but I'm not convinced they could have solved it so well that 20-year-old links would still actually work in practice. [...]

>In the ideal world we would all be using s-expressions and Lisp, but now XML and JSON fill the need of language-independent data formats.
>Not trying to defend XSLT (which I find to be a mixed bag), but you're aware that it's precursor was DSSSL (Scheme), with pretty much a one-to-one correspondence of language constructs and symbol names, aren't you?

>The mighty programmer James Clark wrote the de-facto reference SGML parser and DSSSL implementation, was technical lead of the XML working group, and also helped design and implement XSLT and XPath (not to mention expat, Trex / RELAX NG, etc)! It was totally flexible and incredibly powerful, but massively complicated, and you had to know scheme, which blew a lot of people's minds. But the major factor that killed SGML and DSSSL was the emergence of HTML, XML and XSLT, which were orders of magnitude simpler.

Yes, but honestly if you can use specialized software instead of writing your own, do so. Scheduling problems become very hairy quite quickly. For ASP, there is also sCASP that is the current flagship application of SWI Prolog.
Great article! Is the code or technique used to fix this easily available somewhere?

Yep.

It's worth pointing out that credit scores actually are actually just the P(^default) expressed on an integer rather than fractional scale.

There's also multiple credit scores, there are the scores computed by credit bureaus which look at your P(default) against all lenders, but many lenders also compute their own internal credit scores using models trained against their own customer base (and possibly also taking into account additional data that they hold about you).
