How I built a lightweight SEO tracker using Gemini AI and Google Search Console API

Hi everyone,

As a blogger, I've always been frustrated by how enterprise SEO tools are too bulky and expensive for personal projects. I didn't need a massive dashboard with hundreds of metrics—I just wanted to know: "Is my traffic dropping, and which keywords should I target?"

So, I decided to build my own solution: Traffic Monitor.

The Tech Stack:

Backend: Vercel + Supabase (for handling serverless functions and data storage).

Data Integration: Google Search Console API (to get accurate, raw traffic data).

AI Analysis: Gemini 2.5 Flash API (to analyze traffic trends and provide actionable insights).

Alerts: Discord API (to push daily summaries directly to my DMs).

The Challenge:
The biggest challenge was not just fetching the data, but making sense of it. I used the Gemini API to parse the GSC data and turn it into a simple "Human-Readable" insight rather than a confusing chart.

Why I'm sharing this:
I'm at the early beta stage and I'm looking for some honest feedback from fellow developers. I want to know if the UI is intuitive and if the AI insights are actually helpful for your daily blogging routine.

If you are a blogger or a developer working with GSC/AI, I’d love for you to check it out and let me know what you think!

You can find it here: (https://trafficmonitor.app/)

I'm also offering lifetime premium access to the first 20 people who provide constructive feedback in the comments or via GitHub issues. Any feedback or "roasts" are welcome!
