I built a simple system to automatically repost my Telegram updates to my personal website—complete with GPT-generated meta tags and bilingual publishing. The biggest lesson: if you care about SEO, make sure your blog is properly indexable, which pushed me from a React SPA approach to SSR with Next.js.
