marclou · x · 2026-09-13
Indie developer marclou shares observations after launching his SaaS Stalkr: OpenAI and Anthropic began indexing the site, with ChatGPT and Claude now crawling it 100 times a day to answer user queries, while Google started training on it over two weeks ago when the product had little visibility.
His takeaways:
- Backlinks help you get discovered by LLMs
- People talking about your app is how AI labs really pick it up
He also celebrates landing Stalkr's first customer.
