I am genuinely in the "target market" for a tool such as this, but having evaluated one previously I found the quality and self-hosting experience to be pretty bad, and that a proprietary freemium product was still a better experience. I'm hesitant to even take a look at this project due to the whole "vibe coded in 3 weeks" thing, though. Hearing that says to me that this is not serious or battle-tested and might go…

The era of sharing some small programs that you made with others to benefit from is over imo. You can just vibe code it yourself. If your requirements are narrower (eg. you only need support for 3 networks and not 12), you will end up with something that takes less time to develop (possibly less than a day), it will have a smaller surface for problems, and it will be much better tailored to your specific needs. If yo…

Nah, my whole Github is open. I've always "shared" what I do.

I just don't go run around different social media sites advertising my stuff. I built it for myself, if someone else likes it, they can use it.

If they want a feature they are free to suggest it, but I'm also free to ignore their wishes completely if I don't need the feature. It's an open license, they can fork it.

Isn't automated posting forbidden by most platforms, and will risk getting any account banned?

Each platform has an api that you can use to post. You just have to setup a developer account for each platform

setting up the developer account is easy, but getting approval from each platform is quite tedious! I've recently been thru it with my social media scheduling tool (mallary.ai), did you get approval from all the platforms yet?

has there been any final word on whether social platforms are throttling posts that come from platforms like this?

tiktok certainly seems to prefer if you post a draft using api and then manually publish it using the tiktok app on your phone, but the other platforms like youtube, instagram and facebook don't seem to mind. Its also recommended that you warm up an account manually before posting to it using an api. I've recently built and agent first social media scheduling tool: https://mallary.ai

I wanted to test how far AI coding tools could take a production project. Not a prototype. A social media management platform with 12 first-party API integrations, multi-tenant auth, encrypted credential storage, background job processing, approval workflows, and a unified inbox. The scope would normally keep a solo developer busy for the better part of a year. I shipped it in 3 weeks. Before writing any code, I spen…
