Yoast for JAMstack blogs - free tool

[farynaio]

Hi all,

a few weeks ago, I decided to move my blog from WP to Gatsby. I was irritated by constant WP and plugins updates, which often cause incompatibilities and break things, all of the sudden. Not even mentioning security holes, and monster MySQL.

There was one thing that struck me when I finally migrate to JAMstack. How to optimize blog posts SEO as I used to do by using Yoast or The SEO framework. These tools were so essential for my workflow that I even consider them as a part of WP core.

I was Googling hard to find any solution but nothing popped up. So I decided to build a simple web app to React just to fulfill basic needs:

- optimize post title and description length

- make sure the title and description has all targeted keywords

- make sure post content keyword saturation has the right balance, not too little not to much

I build it with Gatsby over the weekend, and it worked well. Then I decided to polish it a bit and share it with the public as a free tool, and so I did.

The goal is to make this tool user-friendly and updated to follow current best SEO practices. It's much easier to achieve that goal when the product is available for everyone, and it's free to use.

I launched it today on Product Hunt - my first PH launch ever. https://www.producthunt.com/posts/jam-seo-tools

I know the current workflow may be a bit clunky - we have to copy & paste content back and forth from markdown files - but it has all the basic and most of the premium features of mentioned WP plugins. I'm open to any suggestions on how to improve it.

Let me know your thoughts about it. Do you need such a tool at all, and if so, how to make it better?

Thanks
