Here's what I've been building lately.

Under the hood it's a two-part machine. A digest engine scrapes fourteen Bulgarian news sources, clusters the same story across outlets, scores each cluster for how much the diaspora would care, and hands the winners to an AI writer that drafts them in a Morning-Brew voice. A separate image agent gives every article on-brand art. I approve at two gates; the rest runs on a schedule.

You pay $29, it crawls your site, pulls deterministic signals like schema, robots, and metadata, then runs one big model pass that grades you across three channels: can Google find you, will an assistant cite you, will it recommend you. Out comes three scores and a prioritized fix list. Payment is the gate, so there's no way to burn tokens without a sale behind it.

It pulls the scattered signal of a place, local news, events, openings, and social chatter, clusters it into a week's worth of stories, and drafts each one in a dry, funny, second-person voice before laying it out as a finished issue. Flagship city editions for St. Pete, Scottsdale, and Charlotte show the range, and a Supabase-backed CMS lets me edit and publish any of it.

A separate rate-checking service verifies every number against the bank's own page before it appears here, so a stale rate shows its age instead of quietly lying. Seven calculators let you run your own situation rather than read someone else's example. The ranking is not for sale, which is written down in the repo rather than promised in a footer, because the entire value of a comparison site is that it has no reason to lie to you.

Every previous site here cost me a week of plumbing before a single word got written: domain, DNS, hosting, database, secrets, CMS, admin, analytics. Dessertsgram got all of that from one command, and the repo holds only what makes it a dessert site rather than a snack site. The proof that the factory works isn't the tooling. It's that this page exists and reads like the others.

The hard part of a marketplace like this is trust in both directions. Sellers won't publish numbers next to their brand name, and buyers won't take an anonymous listing seriously. So names stay private until a seller approves a specific buyer, while the numbers stay public from the start. Everything I've learned running these sites is what tells me which listings are honest and which are a spreadsheet with a story attached.
