I asked Claude Code to build me a Markdown editor, and it took less than 10 minutes Claude writes a lot of my plans, notes and drafts as Markdown (.md) files. In Notepad they are full of # and ** symbols, and I don't like reading them in VS Code either. I wanted to see the formatted page straight away, like Google Docs. So I asked Claude Code to build me an editor and reader. In under 10 minutes I had a white page with a toolbar, where the text formats as I type. I then asked it to turn that into a Windows program and set it as the default for .md files. Now I double-click a Markdown file and it opens looking like a document. I can write and save my own files too. That is a micro-app: one small tool for one job. If you want the prompts to build your own, they are on my blog, along with the steps to make it your default on Windows: Building A Markdown Editor using Claude Code

E-E-A-T stands for Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness - an ethos that should underpin everything on your website. It means you have first-hand knowledge of the subject, in-depth skills in the field, is an established and respected source, and produces content that is accurate, honest, and reliable. E-E-A-T is a framework Google uses to train its algorithms, not a checklist you can simply optimise for in the traditional sense. You can't "rank for E-E-A-T" directly but you can apply its principles to your content and platform to improve your visibility in search. Experience Experience now carries more weight than ever before. Google is aggressively favouring content that demonstrates real-world, firsthand knowledge. A travel blog written by someone who actually visited the destinations will significantly outrank one written by someone who just researched online. Similarly, a product review from someone who bought and used the product beats one written from spec sheets, no matter how well-researched the latter might be. Google now prioritises content written from real, lived experience and not just curated facts. Product demos, case studies, tutorial walkthroughs, and anecdotal insights are exactly what it's looking for. Expertise Expertise is about demonstrating deep knowledge in a particular domain. For high-stakes topics like legal advice or medical information, formal education and credentials matter. For lifestyle content or niche interests, demonstrated passion, consistency, and accuracy can often be enough. It's about knowing your stuff and showing it clearly. If you've spent years building in your niche, learning what works, what doesn't, what the textbooks don't tell you then that is expertise. The fact that it came from doing rather than studying doesn't make it less valid. It often makes it more useful. Authoritativeness - Built Slowly, Not Bought The most straightforward way to establish authority is by earning backlinks to your website from other authoritative websites. Press coverage, citations, and guest contributions on high-authority sites in your niche will also help.
