At the end of the previous article we got into quite a pleasant state. Visual topical map was not anymore only a pile of nodes and lines, we started thinking more about what we actually display, which relationships make sense and what the user can understand from the map. We had Cytoscape.js, zoom, pan, clickable…

So we already had visual topical map rebuilt on Cytoscape.js. We knew how to display bigger graphs, we had zoom, pan, clickable nodes, different layouts and overall a much better base than before. Technically we were therefore in a situation where we could push really a lot of data into the map. And exactly there…

In the previous article I ended at the point that our visual topical map actually worked. It had nodes, connections, it could be displayed and technically it did approximately what we wanted from it at the beginning. Only meanwhile we started wanting much more from it and the original solution was already a little like…

When I started making topicstotalkabout.com, one of the things which I wanted to have there was a visual topical map. The reason was quite simple. Topical map as a list is useful, but when you have in front of you tens of topics and subtopics, it is still mainly a list. I wanted to look…

After three phases – frustration from marketing topicstotalkabout.com, fascination with the world of directories and DR and then a ten-hour trip through approximately 500 domains – I finally got to the less important part of every internet project. To the product. Working name for it is for now B****e and I will keep the URL…

When I had an approximate concept, there came the phase in which I can get stuck with my projects completely disproportionately long. A domain. I know there is reasonable advice: take a good enough name, buy the domain and dedicate energy to the product. I completely agree with this advice and I would recommend it…

In the first part I ended with DR, which is quite a good example of how my work on side projects works. I start with wanting to get more people to topicstotalkabout.com, and a few hours later I am studying the business economics of startup directories. DR, meaning Domain Rating from Ahrefs, I have a…

This whole new adventure actually started with https://topicstotalkabout.com and with my gradually growing frustration from its promotion. On the project itself I can work practically endlessly. There is always something that needs to be improved. A new function, better questions, nicer map, faster database, new content, better internal linking, mobile display or a button which…

Sometimes you do not need a big migration plugin, a full backup suite, or another complicated WordPress tool with twenty settings you will never touch. Sometimes you just want to take your published posts out of WordPress and look at them somewhere else. That is exactly why I built Kaudo Bulk Post Export. It is…

On Topics To Talk About, I’ve started publishing a series on how to become a topical authority in almost any topic using entity SEO and topical maps. Just a quick reminder for those who may not have seen my previous post, TTTA (Topicstotalkabout) is a tool I built that takes any topic (based on Wikipedia)…
