I posted “Tell HN: My Web App has 13 Users” 3 months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5386966). Over time, it grew to 150 (free) users, but retention was pretty much zero. I was trying to cast a wide net and offer a generic “headless browser as a service”. It turned out I had make a service that was a little helpful to many people, but didn't really solve anyone's problem completely.
I finally took the advise offered in that thread. I focused on a problem I understood, and solved it completely instead of just offering a helpful tool. Instead of a “hosted headless browser” BromBone is now a complete solution for people who want their javascript websites indexed by Google.
BromBone.com - The javascript SEO problem has been solved.
Google can't index javascript driven webpages. The accepted solutions have been: 1. Run your own PhantomJS server to render snapshots and serve the snapshots to Google (a real pain). 2. Accept that your pages won't be listed on Google.
With BromBone you don't have to either. You just have to make a small change to your .htaccess file.
BromBone crawls your websites, runs your javascript in a web browser, and saves the rendered page. When Google crawls your site, proxy the requests to BromBone, and we'll send the rendered snapshot to Google.
Smile. Your javascript driven website is on Google.
