This page does two things. It lists what I build, and it explains how to write for Ceos3c if you’re building something yourself.
What I build
All of it is bootstrapped and run by me. When one of my products fits an article on this blog, I say so and disclose that I built it.
ProofSwap
A give-first exchange for testimonials, tweets and backlinks. You leave real proof on someone else’s project and get proof back for yours. Free with one project. Paid plans start at €9 a month for instant activation, a permanent dofollow backlink and the embed widget.
Not for you if you already get a steady stream of customer reviews. A plain testimonial tool does that job.
xpmetric
Privacy-friendly web analytics with a game layer on top: achievements, a live visitor map, revenue tracking. It’s what I use to measure this blog. Current pricing is on xpmetric.com.
Not for you if you need GA4-style ad attribution and audience building.
EasyEarningsTracker
Income tracking for creators and freelancers who get paid from several platforms. It was my first SaaS.
Yoga Pose Mastery
My yoga site: pose guides, mudras, Ashtanga and beginner sequences. Nothing to do with code, but it’s mine too.
Write for Ceos3c
Ceos3c is about using AI to build, ship and create, on tools you control. If you build something and have a real story about building it, I want to publish it as a Maker Stories post.
Who reads Ceos3c
Developers, self-hosters and indie makers who want a working answer, not a pitch.
What a Maker Stories post looks like
- You built the thing, and you write about building it: the stack, the decisions, what broke, what you’d do differently.
- Real numbers where you have them. Users, revenue, costs, hours. Small numbers are fine. Made-up numbers aren’t.
- Something the reader can use even if they never touch your product.
- A real byline with a real person behind it.
Two good examples are already live: Startup Directories: How to Find the Ones That Actually Work by Nick Launches, and Why Your WordPress Site Is Still Slow After Installing Every Cache Plugin by Marcin Dudek.
The rules
- No AI-written filler. Using AI to fix your grammar is fine. Handing in a generated article isn’t.
- One link to your product in the body, plus your author bio.
- If you mention a competitor, be fair to them.
- I edit for clarity and length. I don’t change your opinions.
How to pitch
Send me a message through the contact page with your product, a link, and two or three sentences on the story you’d tell. I read everything.
