:: Google Search Indexing - Success ::

I've finally managed to enable indexing for my pages on https://hinst.github.io/ : the graph is climbing as shown in the attached screenshot. The approach I described in my previous post worked: I copy and paste URLs using my tracker, 10 per day 📈 It took many hours and attempts to achieve this result. In the future, I plan to make more extensions and improvements to my personal website, as well as include Bing and Yandex search engines.

:: Smart Progress - Troubles ::

Smart Progress has enabled Cloudflare bot protection. As a result, my automation for downloading my posts from Smart Progress no longer works 🥴 I've already deleted the old automation from my Kubernetes cluster. I plan to develop a browser extension that will sync my posts every time I visit SmartProgress automatically. This way, I can bypass the bot protection. There are other ways to try and circumvent it: for example, running a browser in a Docker container with Puppeteer. But whether this will work properly is unclear. The browser extension approach feels more honest: I'm not a bot, I'm a real user 🧐 By the way, Cloudflare's setup seems a bit weird: human verification requests come too frequently. I hadn't even finished writing my post when my session expired. SmartProgress sends my post to nowhere. The text I typed disappears.
