NeuralRift
An editorial platform about AI, built AI-native: in-depth guides and honest reviews, with a full CMS, newsletter and SEO-ready server rendering.
The challenge
NeuralRift is an editorial blog about artificial intelligence: in-depth guides, honest reviews and strategies for navigating the AI revolution. It ships with a complete admin panel, a rich content editor, a newsletter and full server-side rendering for SEO.
A modern content site has to be fast, discoverable and easy to run day to day. The goal was a real editorial platform, not a template blog: server-rendered for SEO, with a proper CMS to write rich posts, manage categories, run a newsletter and track affiliates, all in one cohesive product.
The approach
- Full-stack on Laravel 11 (PHP 8.3) with React 18, TypeScript and Inertia.js v2, built with Vite 6 and full SSR, so it is SEO-ready out of the box.
- A rich content editor with Tiptap (JSON-based, with a static renderer for SSR), supporting images and syntax-highlighted code.
- A complete admin panel: real-time metrics, category management with custom color and icon, affiliate management with click tracking, and newsletter management with CSV export.
- A crafted reader experience: animated hero, reading-progress bar, sticky table of contents, per-category brand colors, an AI-tools directory, a custom animated cursor and Framer Motion.
- Growth and SEO built in: a double opt-in newsletter, an RSS feed and an XML sitemap.
How I leverage AI
NeuralRift is AI-native on both sides: it is a product about AI, and I built it with a command of AI. Claude was a core part of my workflow, which let me ship a large, cohesive platform (a full CMS, SSR, newsletter and analytics) on my own.
