@piggy1627 Hi

[Sandeep maddheshiya @supermansandy1m]

Everyone said a backend developer can’t do SEO, Let me prove them wrong.

[Sandeep maddheshiya @supermansandy1m]

Opened my GSC today and saw it just hit a new record!!!

[Sandeep maddheshiya @supermansandy1m]

Started with 1 click a day.

Now seeing 1K+ clicks/day on a project I built myself feels really good.

Learned way more than just development along the way.

Next target: 10K/day. Let’s see how far we can take it.

A rejected visa photo can delay a whole trip.

VisaReadyNow turns a selfie into a government-compliant passport/visa photo in seconds — 190+ countries, exact background + size, 22+ AI checks, print-ready or digital download.

No studio.
No guesswork.

[Sandeep maddheshiya @supermansandy1m]

I didn’t start VisaReadyNow because I thought the world needed another visa website.

I started it because visa photos are one of those tiny things that can ruin an otherwise perfectly planned trip.

Wrong dimensions.
Wrong background.
Wrong head position.
Wrong country specification.
And suddenly you’re searching through government PDFs at 1 AM wondering whether your photo will actually be accepted.
I kept thinking: why is something this simple still so confusing?
So I built VisaReadyNow.

You choose your country and visa/passport type, upload a photo, and get it prepared according to the relevant photo requirements.

No complicated Photoshop.
No guessing dimensions.
No “hope this works.”

It’s still a small product. I’m still fixing things, improving pages, answering support emails myself, and occasionally wondering why I decided to build a website that has to account for hundreds of different photo requirements 😅

But every time someone tells me:

“Got my photo accepted.”
…it makes the whole thing worth it.
Building in public, one passport photo at a time.

@TheBigGeek @airtelindia same incident going with me instead of the providing the resolution they are just keep extending the hours and the assigned engineer keep ignoring the call picked once and said no issue/ticket assigned to me under your name and address.

[Sandeep maddheshiya @supermansandy1m]

@airtelindia Wi-Fi has been down for 2 days. I was repeatedly promised a 4–5 hr resolution. Engineer Munendra Kumar hasn’t answered multiple calls; when he did, he denied any task under my name/address. Please investigate and resolve this urgently. #Airtel

[Sandeep maddheshiya @supermansandy1m]

10,000+ pageviews in a month on VisaReadyNow.

Feels pretty good seeing something I started from scratch slowly get traction.

Most of the growth is coming from organic search, which makes it even more encouraging.

Now aiming for 50K/month.

One step at a time. 🙌

In 2026 does backlinks still matters?

[Sandeep maddheshiya @supermansandy1m]

@i_mika_el For now i’m doing it manually but in future will implement this.

Just hit DR 14 on https://t.co/E0Qyi5b1Vj, but keeping up with 2026 biometric photo updates is the real challenge.

2 massive updates you need to know:

🇩🇪 Germany: Paper photo prints are now BANNED for internal passport/residence renewals inside Germany (moving to secure QR codes). Standard 35x45mm prints are still required for external Schengen Visas.

🇮🇳 India: Scrapping the legacy 2x2" square passport photo for the standard 35x45mm rectangle under Passport Seva 2.0. Also, their portal AI now instantly rejects photos with eyeglasses.Embassies are aggressively rolling out AI-driven compliance checks.

If your face proportions or backgrounds are off by a millimeter, you're rejected.Building out the fix natively at https://t.co/UlsOwLLAop.

🇩🇪 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 & 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗮 𝗣𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 — 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲

Germany has made an important change to how biometric photographs are handled.

Since 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟭, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱, traditional paper photos are no longer accepted for German passports, ID cards and certain residence documents. Digital photographs are now required.

For 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗮 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, the process is different. Germany has expanded its online application process for many national (D) visas, but applicants still need to provide biometric data, including a photograph, during the required in-person appointment.

For anyone preparing a Germany visa or passport application, the key things to check are:

📸 35 × 45 mm biometric format where applicable
👤 Neutral expression and direct camera position
💡 Even lighting with minimal shadows
⬜ Plain, appropriate background
🚫 No filters or excessive editing
🔎 Correct facial positioning and proportions

The biggest takeaway: 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁-𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀, because the photo submission process has changed.

I put together a detailed guide covering the latest Germany passport photo size, biometric specifications and visa photo requirements:

For anyone applying for a German visa or document this year, it's worth checking the requirements before getting your photo taken.

🇩🇪 Germany visa update 2026:

Germany has expanded its online visa application process, but going digital does NOT mean skipping biometrics.

For many national (D) visas:
• Apply online through the Consular Services Portal
• Upload your documents digitally
• Attend an in-person appointment
• Fingerprints + biometric photo are still required

⚠️ Schengen visa applications cannot yet be submitted through the online portal.

If you're preparing a German visa photo, make sure it follows the current biometric requirements rather than relying on outdated guides.

Always verify the final requirements with the German mission handling your application.

I’m a solo developer of free tax tools for US taxpayers. I started with W9s, paystubs, tax calculators and guides.

What tax-related problem wastes the most of your time?

Tell me what you wish existed. I’ll use the answers to decide what to build next.

@ElitzaVasileva @owndotpage In 2026 does google still prefer DR?
