I just built 50 browser-based tools in a single session. Here is what I learned.
The Numbers
- 50 tools built (React components)
- 65 articles published (Dev.to + Hashnode)
- 371 tool pages on the site
- ~2,600 total indexed URLs
- 157 Dev.to articles total
- 1 Reddit post, 125+ views
The Strategy
Each tool targets a specific search query:
- "subnet calculator" → subnet-calculator page
- "what is my IP" → my-ip page
- "wordle unlimited" → wordle page
- "CSS gradient generator" → color-gradient page
Each tool gets an article on Dev.to and Hashnode. Each article creates backlinks to the tool page.
What Works
- Games retain visitors. People bookmark Wordle and come back.
- Calculators rank well. High-intent search queries.
- Privacy messaging sells. "Never leaves your browser" gets shared.
- Volume matters. 371 pages > 10 perfect pages for SEO.
The Stack
Next.js App Router + Tailwind CSS. Client-side only. Vercel hosting. No database. Each tool is one page.tsx file.

Open source playbook: ship fast, target long-tail keywords, create content at scale.
