DevDisciplineNIGHT CITY NEVER SLEEPS

A blog system AI engines can actually read

ChatGPT cited a site I built within three days. Not luck, I built it for search and AI crawlers. Want the same for your own site?

Running on this site right now

None of this is a promise, it is how the site is wired. Most of it you can see yourself in robots.txt and the page source.

22 bot groups

robots.txt names 22 search and AI crawlers individually, including GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot, and allows every one of them. Nothing is left to a default.

Server rendered

The content is in the HTML before any JavaScript runs. Most AI crawlers do not execute JavaScript, and the ones that do will not wait for it.

9 structured data types

BlogPosting, FAQPage, HowTo, BreadcrumbList, SpeakableSpecification, Person, Organization, WebSite and ImageObject schemas are emitted.

Publish, then ping

New and updated posts are pushed to search engines through IndexNow. You do not sit around waiting for a crawler to show up.

llms.txt and feeds

An llms.txt for AI engines, RSS and JSON feeds for readers, all of them split per language.

Reciprocal hreflang

The Turkish and English pages point at each other and each one declares its own canonical, so the two languages are never read as duplicates.

Editor screen

Title, content, slug, category, series, cover image, and SEO description are all managed in one screen. Save as draft and publish whenever you're ready — editing a published post never breaks its existing URL. The word count and estimated reading time shown at the top exclude code blocks.

SEO panel

Readability and SEO scores update live as you write. Pick a focus keyword or phrase and the panel shows exactly what to fix — red dots mark the weak spots.

Preview, two languages, auto-draft

Preview your post in full before publishing — exactly as your readers will see it. Write TR and EN content from the same screen and switch between languages instantly. The editor auto-saves your writing to the server within seconds, so even if you close the tab by accident — or switch devices — nothing is lost.

Automatic distribution surface

When you share a post on social media, your cover image shows up automatically. The technical SEO side is handled by the system — you just write.

Editor helpers

You write everything yourself. These are simple tools that kick in after you're done: SEO analysis from a focus keyword, a social caption suggestion that captures your post's idea, and internal link opportunities — all inside the editor, one click each.

Opened it on my phone. Couldn't put it down.

That's for your readers. But the admin panel travels with you too — draft when the idea hits, publish when it's ready.

Not like off-the-shelf blogs. A publishing world with its own character.

I design the atmosphere, visual language, and flow a subject demands, from scratch — the result is a real publishing product, not just a setup.

  • Each subject gets its own visual language
  • Design, flow, and SEO are shaped together
  • The result is a custom publishing product

atmosphere

Sci-fi publication

Neon and archival aesthetics with a world of its own.

edition

Book-focused pub

A calmer editorial layout with a shelf-like feel.

field notes

Geography publication

A living structure shaped by maps and routes.

performance

Running & sports publication

Data-driven training logs and race reports.

signal

Finance & investing publication

Analysis, notes and market observations in a terminal aesthetic.

frequency

Music & podcast publication

Audio content turned into text — an archive.

Concept design examples

These aren't live sites — concept mockups to show what's possible. This is what "shaped to the subject" looks like. Tell me your subject and I'll build the real one.
