I built markdown.new
Put markdown.new/ before any URL → get clean Markdown back.
Cloudflare's Markdown for Agents is great, but only works for enabled sites. markdown.new works for ANY website on the internet.
80% fewer tokens. Also converts PDFs, images, audio.
Free. No signup.

Time to consider not just human visitors, but to treat agents as first-class citizens. Cloudflare’s network now supports real-time content conversion to Markdown at the source using content negotiation headers.

Google just brought "preferred sources" into AI Search and says they earn ~2× the clicks.
The catch: your readers have to pick you.
So I built a free button that makes it one tap.
No code, no account.👇
mypreferredsources.com
Google Search lets you pick the sources you want to see more of. 📰
🌎 Preferred Sources is now available globally in all supported languages.
⭐Tailor your Search experience by highlighting the sources you rely on most
📈 So far, over 345,000 unique sources have been selected, and readers are more than 2x likely to click through to a site after selecting it as a preferred source.
🔍 We’re also making it easier to manage, find and add your sources.

🚀 I cancelled my $9/mo Notion subscription
…and vibe-coded my own all-in-one second brain with Fable for $14,500
Now I have 47 custom databases, AI that actually understands me, and mild regret
Worth it tho

I’ve already had a Google Knowledge Panel for a while, and now my dedicated Search profile is public and open clean space to highlight my content across platforms.
Follow me:
profile.google.com/cp/Cg0vZy…
We're launching Search profiles, a new way for publishers and creators to shape their presence on Search. Search profiles are a dedicated, shareable space to highlight content across social media, video and news platforms, and help audiences find accurate and up-to-date information about sources on Search.

🧵 The single SEO GEO test that decides whether your content ranks on Google AND gets cited by ChatGPT:
"Would anything be lost if this page disappeared?"
If the honest answer is "nothing" you're invisible to both.
Google confirmed it (Toronto, April 2026).
Here's the checklist 👇

6/ "Authentic" in practice:
❌ "We use advanced detection"
✅ "Here's the regex we use to fingerprint Shopify Plus, and the three edge cases that broke us in February"
Authenticity isn't a tone. It's evidence that you did the thing.

7/ The 5-question pre-write checklist.
Before you write a sentence, answer YES to all five:
☐ Can I name at least one proprietary number, dataset, or first-hand observation?
☐ Can I name at least one specific company, customer, date, or threshold?
☐ Could I write this if I only had other blog posts to read? (yes = commodity)
☐ Does this reflect that I did the work, not that I summarized the web?
☐ If an AI Overview answered this query tomorrow, would my page still have a reason to exist?

Translation: Google trained a model on the open web 🌐 → now using it to stop users from ever reaching the open web.
"Biggest upgrade in 25 years"? More like the biggest traffic grab in 25 years. 📉
🔹 Longer queries → fewer ranked spots
🔹 Conversational answers → fewer clicks
🔹 AI Mode default → fewer real SERPs
The web that trained Gemini 3.5 Flash is the same web you're now routing users away from. 🚫
For publishers, SMBs, and indie sites that made Google useful in the first place → this is the biggest extraction event in 25 years. 💸
Cool demo. Brutal economics. Call it what it is. ⚠️

Today we are starting to roll out the biggest upgrade to the Google Search box in over 25 years — now completely reimagined with AI, along with Gemini 3.5 Flash as the new default model for AI mode users globally!

👎 Disagree.
HTML is for humans. Keep agent outputs simple.
- Cheaper on tokens
- Humans can actually edit it
-Perfect git compatibility
- Zero rendering hassle

I like that it returns headers with the token count:
content-type: text/markdown; charset=utf-8 x-markdown-tokens: 725
