Last year I was traveling as a digital nomad with a dog and spent too much time checking the requirements for each country. Every search result was a blog post, a YouTube explainer, or an old Reddit. I just wanted a list I could check off.

I had the idea of building a checklist library many years ago, but found myself with the barrier of generating the content. Now that's a solved issue.

I built tiqd.app. It's a library of checklists for the stuff life throws at you, like visas, moving, travel, job interviews, home buying. Not a task manager, just find a checklist and check things off. Statically generated from Postgres at build time (Next.js 14 SSG), so every page is just HTML. No logins, no backend for user state.

The share feature encodes all checked IDs as lz-string in a ?p= URL param. Felt like a nicer UX than forcing a signup just to compare notes with someone.

I optimized the architecture and development for programmatic SEO. Vibed coded most of it with clear instructions focused on distribution. A few days old and already seeing referral traffic from ChatGPT, which I wasn't expecting.

I'm also using Claude Code for the distribution side - branding, content calendar, social copy. Treating the whole launch as a learning exercise in programmatic SEO and distribution.

The content scales programmatically but most distribution advice out there is manual. If anyone has cracked programmatic distribution for a content site, I'd genuinely like to know what worked.
