Now

What I'm focused on right now. Last updated: September 2026.

Currently Exploring

  • FanoutFox patch. Built. ChatGPT's search rebuild replaced the JSON that FanoutFox reads with a pipe language, so the fan-out card sat empty on fresh sessions. The patch speaks the new format and is tested. It goes to the Chrome Web Store next, as promised in the teardown.
  • Gemini network analysis. In progress. The last one in the set, and it needed a different method, because Gemini answers from two layers, the app's own traffic and the grounding API. The September recapture changed the piece. One robots.txt line decides whether Gemini can use your site at all, so the draft was rebuilt around that, with a small companion tool that runs the same checks on any page. Final read, then it goes out.
  • Image SEO follow-through. In progress. The GSC MCP image SEO release is out, 8 tools that read Google's image-search surface, with the launch post built on real client data. Now running the fix list on the six-figure page from that post and letting image_keyword_trends judge the work. The result publishes either way.
  • IndexNow experiment. In progress. IndexNow has run on every deploy since 20 August, after a seed of the full sitemap, 106 URLs. Next is the before and after on Bing's crawl logs, to see whether the engines that listen crawl faster.

Tools and projects I've tested and formed a verdict on. Most recent month shown below. Older entries live in the archive.

September 2026

  • Charging AI crawlers with x402 Kept This site charges AI agents a penny per page over HTTP 402, and Claude Code paid it, with the settlements on a public chain. The writeup is live and the demo stays up at paid.suganthan.com.
  • Mobbin as the design reference Kept A library of real shipped screens, now the first stop for every design decision on this site. The September component pass (related post rows, tool cards, the enquiry form, the feedback widget) came out of benchmarking against it.

Living

  • Raising three kids, which remains the only job with no PTO and no performance reviews.
  • Trying to read more and spend less time on X. One of those is going well.
