Weekly Coding • 2025-10-19

Good day. It's time to make an entry in my weekly diary.

:: Google Search Console ::

I continue with Search Engine Indexing for my personal website https://hinst.github.io/ 🌐 Last week, I mentioned encountering issues with the Google Search Notification API. This week, I decided to take a different approach: instead of using the API, I'm now adding my pages manually. To make this process easier, I created a special page where I can track which pages from the list I've already processed. It's called Manual Ping Tracker . Here's how it works:

1. I click [Copy URL]
2. Switch to the Google Search Console tab
3. Paste (Ctrl+V) and hit Enter
4. Click [Request Indexing]
5. Wait
6. If the result is green, I go back to my admin page and click [Confirm pinged]
7. If it's red " Quota limit reached ," I wait until the next day and start again from step 1.

It would make sense to fully automate this process, but there's a problem: Google Search Console developers have made programmatic access more complex. I inspected the HTTP request data in my browser console, and it's not straightforward to parse there. So, I settled for a semi-automatic approach. Also, you can only send 12 URL addresses per day. Honestly, I expected more. But oh well - Google servers can process only 12 pages a day, apparently 🥴 It will take around a month to add all the pages.

:: Duolingo ::

I've finally completed the Duolingo course: English-German. This is my second course on Duolingo. So, I now have two courses fully completed:

1. Russian - > German
2. English -> German

I'm not sure if I'll do more Duolingo courses. There are some potential candidates:

1. Math 🧮
2. Music 🎵
3. Chess ♟️
4. Continue with German in "repeat" mode 🔄️

I've tried to do Math, but it seemed odd. There's this need to count little green circles 🤔💭
