      <title>I'm Building Free SEO Landing Pages for Every Shop in Rohtak</title>
      <dc:creator>Harsh Kadyan</dc:creator>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I live in Rohtak, and I've been thinking about something.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Most small shops and businesses here have zero online presence. No website, no Google listing, no way for customers to find them when they search. Meanwhile, every one of these businesses is losing customers to competitors who simply showed up on Google.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So here's what I'm going to do — build SEO-optimized landing pages for every shop and business in Rohtak. Almost for free. You only pay for the domain and basic hosting.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What each business gets:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A fast, mobile-first landing page&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Strong local SEO — schema markup, meta tags, optimized content&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Google Maps integration so customers find you instantly&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click-to-call and WhatsApp buttons&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Google Business Profile optimization&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Why almost free?&lt;br&gt;
Because the real value isn't the website — it's being found. A shop that shows up when someone searches "best tailor in Rohtak" or "cake shop near me" gets customers without spending on ads. The domain and hosting cost almost nothing. The SEO is what matters, and that's what I do.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm starting with Rohtak, Haryana — my city. If you own a shop, clinic, restaurant, gym, salon, or any business here and want to be found online, this is for you.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>AstroScope — How I Built an Astrology Bot Used by 800+ People Daily</title>
      <dc:creator>Harsh Kadyan</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Thu, 13 Aug 2026 02:45:01 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/brutalharsh7/astroscope-how-i-built-an-astrology-bot-used-by-800-people-daily-9e8</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/brutalharsh7/astroscope-how-i-built-an-astrology-bot-used-by-800-people-daily-9e8</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;AstroScope — when a friend's challenge became a product used by 800+ people daily.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I was never into astrology. But my friend Priyanshu told me about AstrologyAPI and challenged me to build something for a Western audience. So I built AstroScope — a Discord bot that does everything astrology: daily horoscopes, birth charts, love and compatibility reports, and a lot more.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  How it works
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Users chat with the bot naturally. If someone asks "When will I get married?", the bot uses their birth data to calculate an astrological response via AstrologyAPI. Then it asks follow-up questions — "Do you have a girlfriend/boyfriend? What's their name?" — and checks compatibility to see if they could be a good life partner. It remembers user responses and saved names.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The tech that made it work
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AstrologyAPI supplies the raw astrological data — planetary positions, houses, aspects, compatibility scores&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;An AI model (ChatGPT at the time) takes both the user's data and the astrological response, and generates a natural, personalized message&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Discord.js handles the bot interface, slash commands, and user sessions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The result? 800+ people used it daily. One of my friends, Sourabh — who is an actual pandit — loved the bot so much that he couldn't stop talking about it. When a real astrologer appreciates your astrology bot, you know the data side is solid.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What I learned
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This project taught me how to combine APIs intelligently. AstrologyAPI gave me raw data, the AI model gave me language, and Discord.js gave me the interface. The real skill was stitching them together into something that felt magical to the user. It also taught me that you don't need to believe in a domain to build a great product for it — you just need to understand the data and the user.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tech:&lt;/strong&gt; Discord.js, Node.js, AstrologyAPI, OpenAI&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Brutal Bot — My First Project (500+ Command Discord Bot)</title>
      <dc:creator>Harsh Kadyan</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Wed, 12 Aug 2026 23:45:00 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/brutalharsh7/brutal-bot-my-first-project-500-command-discord-bot-2im0</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/brutalharsh7/brutal-bot-my-first-project-500-command-discord-bot-2im0</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Brutal Bot — my first ever project.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This was the project that started everything for me. Brutal Bot is a multipurpose Discord bot with 500+ commands — music, security, moderation, automation, games, and a lot more. At the time, I just wanted to test every possible thing I could build with Discord.js, and this bot became my playground for learning.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I ran many custom Discord bots back then using Discord bot scripts. One of them was for a famous YouTuber — Elvish Yadav. He had just started his Discord and gaming channel, and I built a custom bot for his server. He eventually got busy with Bigg Boss and stopped gaming and Discord, but that project taught me a lot about real-world bot deployment, user management, and handling scale.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What I built
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Music playback&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Security &amp;amp; moderation tools&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Automation (scheduled messages, auto-roles, reaction roles)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Games &amp;amp; entertainment&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Utilities and day-to-day tools&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What I learned
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This was my gateway into building. I wasn't thinking about architecture or best practices — I just wanted to make things work. But shipping 500+ commands taught me how to structure code, handle edge cases, and think about the user experience. Every project since has built on what Brutal Bot taught me.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tech:&lt;/strong&gt; Discord.js, Node.js, JavaScript&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;GitHub:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://github.com/Brutalharsh" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;github.com/Brutalharsh&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>TheDevs — We Build Anything Tech</title>
      <dc:creator>Harsh Kadyan</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Wed, 12 Aug 2026 20:45:42 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/brutalharsh7/thedevs-we-build-anything-tech-m2d</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/brutalharsh7/thedevs-we-build-anything-tech-m2d</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Most agencies specialize in one thing. We didn't want to be that agency.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;TheDevs was built on a simple idea — be the single team you can hand any technical brief to. A single script. A Discord bot. A full iOS app. A complete startup MVP. One team, end-to-end.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What we build:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Native iOS apps (SwiftUI) and Android apps (Kotlin + Jetpack Compose)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Full websites and high-converting landing pages&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Custom Discord &amp;amp; Telegram bots&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Backend automation that removes repetitive work&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;End-to-end startup MVPs&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox &amp;amp; Edge&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;DevOps pipelines, CI/CD, hosting &amp;amp; domain management&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Time-saving scripts that automate the boring parts&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Every project runs through a dedicated chat with daily progress updates. Transparent pricing agreed upfront. No middlemen, no juggling vendors — one team that ships.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I built the backend, the frontend, and the iOS &amp;amp; Android client apps myself, and I manage the team and delivery end-to-end.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you have something that needs building — anything tech — that's exactly what TheDevs exists for.&lt;/p&gt;
