Product notes, launch updates, and lessons from shipping Place2Page

Place2Page vs Wix, WordPress, and Linktree
Place2Page is built for local landing pages that start from Maps data, not for replacing every website builder or link hub.

Why We Used SSE First and Polling as a Fallback
Place2Page streams generation progress over authenticated SSE, then falls back to polling only when the live channel fails.

Why We Moved Streaming Events Out of Process Memory
The first streaming version worked on one worker, but a shared event store was the safer boundary once generation and stream requests could land on different processes.

How We Made Korean Business Names Work as Safe Subdomains
ASCII-only slugging broke on Hangul-heavy place names, so Place2Page added Korean-aware suggestions and deterministic fallbacks without changing the publish contract.

Why We Wrote a Risk Map Before Adding More Tests
Instead of chasing raw test counts, Place2Page used a risk map to choose which API paths needed DB-backed integration coverage first.

A Clear Page Can Reduce the Questions Customers Keep Repeating
Many local businesses do not need more channels. They need one page that answers the same pre-visit questions clearly.

How We Built Place2Page's Selective CI/CD Pipeline
A grounded look at how Place2Page ties together change detection, selective tests, GHCR image builds, and production deploy automation.

Why a Google Maps Listing Is Not the Same as a Website
Google Maps helps people find a business. It rarely gives them enough context to choose it.

Instagram Can Get Attention. It Rarely Answers the Real Questions
A strong Instagram feed can create interest, but most customers still need one page that explains the business clearly.

A Booking Page Solves One Step. A Website Solves the Decision
Booking links are useful once someone is ready. A simple website helps people get ready in the first place.

Local SEO Starts With Clear Pages, Not a Big Website
Small businesses do not need a huge site to improve local visibility. They need a page that clearly matches how customers search.
