Semantic.io was featured on BetaList on December 11th, 2017

Semantic.io aggregates keyword data from all around the web to provide huge lists of relevant keywords based on a URL. The tool then intelligently parses through all of this data to enrich it at the individual keyword level, pull all current ranking URL’s on Google, and process all of the content on those pages as well.

All of this information is then fed into our machine-learning platform to identify opportunities to rank for specific keywords based on your website’s current level of trust and authority. It’s not keyword research, it’s keyword intelligence.

Kreator Tools was featured on BetaList on December 12th, 2017

KreatorTools is a fun side-project and a web app that curates all the tools that you can use to learn & build virtually anything- from an application, robot, logo, business cards to whatever else that you can think of and you can sort the list of tools based on your technical expertise or the kind of the stuff you’re looking to create. Yes, this project has been heavily inspired by Elon Musk’s way of educating himself but I feel that this website should be useful especially if you’re an intrinsically motivated maker. I’ve only scratched the surface thus far so expect it to be slightly buggy but updated with time.
