Building in public, week 17: turning one feature into a page cluster (and the internal-linking layer nobody sees)

Short summary

A side-project builder discusses turning a working background-remover feature into a SEO-discoverable page cluster. The key pattern: convert hardcoded tool links into a single constant, render it with an exclude prop, and wire together hub + spoke pages with internal links. Build-time validation caught a hydration bug (block-level tags in <p>) that would've shipped to production.

• •Hub-and-spoke content model with single source-of-truth constant eliminates orphan pages and auto-wires internal links
• •Build-time validation prevents block-element hydration mismatches; the pattern prevents entire classes of bugs
• •Young domain still Google-sandboxed but ranking on Bing; Copilot cites the site 75 times, showing AI visibility
