const TITLE = `I built a free WordPress SEO plugin with Claude/Gemini AI baked in — no Pro tier, no upsells, ever. Roast it.`;

const BODY = `I got fed up paying Yoast $99/year for features that felt half-finished, so I built my own.

**What it does:**

- Full meta/OG/schema/sitemap stack (the boring-but-necessary stuff)
- Auto-pipeline: when you publish a post, it runs in the background and writes your meta description, scores the post 0–100, generates ALT text for images, injects internal links, and adds a summary box — all without touching WP-Cron
- Bulk meta generation for your whole site using either **Anthropic Claude or Google Gemini** (your API key, your cost — about $1.50 for 200 posts with Claude Sonnet)
- Readability scoring (pure PHP, no AI call needed)
- robots.txt editor with AI bot blocking built in
- \`llms.txt\` support for AI crawler guidance
- Performance tab: local font download (GDPR), defer JS, HTML/CSS/JS minification, mixed content fixer

**What it doesn't do:**

No Pro tier. No upsell modals. No phoning home. No "upgrade to unlock" anything. It's fully free and open source on WordPress.org.

**The honest caveats:**

- You need to deactivate Yoast/RankMath — can't run two SEO plugins
- AI features need an API key (Anthropic or Google). It's not magic-free.
- It's new — published ~3 weeks ago, fewer than 10 active installs so far, zero reviews
- Built by one person (me), so if something breaks, I want to know

**Why I'm posting:**

I want real users. Not installs for vanity metrics — I want people who'll actually tell me what's broken or missing.
