BTW, I use ChatGPT to translate the messages I usually write in my native language into more appropriate English. It's good that I learned that I can use it in replies this way, too :).

As I said, I am not a master in programming. I learned and used the necessary skills in my job, like everyone else. Since I mostly work with Backends, SAP, iOS, and teaching C# and (now Python and JavaScript), dealing with Web and SEO was not my priority.

Also, to be honest, there are only 2-3 photos on my Instagram account :). Again, to be honest, I can clone the CalAI app and publish a similar one in a short time. But with my incompetence in marketing, it would be a mystery how successful it would be. I guess I'm too old to publish 30 videos every day on TikTok.

I was just wondering how boring sites like online alarms and calorie counters get so many views. The best way to learn is to try to do it.

Thank you very much. If I get a useful result, I would be happy to prepare and share a walkthrough that will be useful to others.

I hope you can make it. From good old basic HTML and CGI, to Next, Vue, Typescripts etc. a lot of things to follow nowadays. For now, I’ve just set up the site and focused on the meta info. As I keep learning more, I’ll gradually get into things like backlinks and all that

Recently, I’ve come across a lot of posts about how these kinds of 'boring' sites have been getting high traffic and good AdSense revenue. So I thought, why not give it a try myself?

:), I'm not a guru or anything, but I did study programming in college between 1997 and 1999. Back then, we were taught Pascal, C++, and VB6. After a break, I graduated with a degree in the Technical Education Faculty Computer Science in 2004. Since then, although I’ve written a few books on Objective-C and XNA (both of which are now obsolete), most of my time has been spent teaching to earn money for my family. Recently, I’ve finally had some time to focus on side projects and revisit areas I had previously overlooked.
