ForgeRank - nearly ready SEO extension for indie makers
I’m in the final stages of building ForgeRank. It’s a privacy-first Chrome/Brave extension that passively detects backlinks and analyzes SEO content in real time while you browse.
It’s built for solo makers who can’t afford tools like Ahrefs but still care about their SEO footprint.
No logins. No API keys. No bloated dashboards. Just instant, local insights.
🦾 Core features nearly done:
Detects backlinks to your domain with anchor context
Extracts top keywords and analyzes content structure
Classifies page intent (informational, transactional, etc.)
All data stored locally, exportable if needed
Pro features are gated for now. Monetization is just being planned.
Would love to hear:
What do you struggle with most around SEO as a solo dev?
Would a tool like this fit your flow?
Would you pay for something like this if it stays lightweight?
Final UI polish and promo materials are next.
Your feedback now will directly shape what ships.

Amazing tool mate. It's really needed for solo devs like myself. Would definitely try it once it's released!
@jealousgx Thank you! I will be launching here on PH, I cannot confirm a timeframe, but I am aiming to launch v1 this week.
