One of the most frustrating experiences building my app was that search engine discovery doesn't work by itself.

My expectation was that I would make an SSR-rendered website, with sane content and meta tags, and my app would appear at least on the 1-3 page of search, because clever search engines would parse it.

In reality, I need to do all the JSON-LD, landings proposed not for sales but for SEO, fighting with Google Search Console, getting proper backlinks, etc.

And only after that could I hope that my project would appear at least somewhere.
