That sounds like not a great twitter/facebook feed you're managing with buffer, no? Do people care about the feed, if it's generic enough to warrant 200k+ queued posts?
He means across all accounts registered with Buffer, not one individual account.

#43My main concern is that if this is free as in both speech _and_ beer, how will the service be supported? I don't want to allow access to YATC and see it die.

#46Circular developer here. Ok, so last month I launched an open source clone of Buffer, built on top of Backbone, Bootstrap and MongoDB, and named Tampon. Many people hated the name... However, the app as well as the open source project have seen some nice early adoption, so I've gone ahead and chosen a less controversial one. I've also implemented multi-account support, which was by far the #1 feature request from use…
I was this " " close to acquiring the domain. Congratulations on the new name.

#47Shame it's written in PHP
Why is it a shame?
I was at a conference where pud spoke. As for using a "startup" worthy language versus what you feel most comfortable in, he said (more or less a quote), "98% of all web sites fail, and yours probably will too, so might as use the language you want and are most productive in"

#48Cool side project. I wish there was a features page listing exactly what's included in the app and what it looks like once setup.

#49I'm a long time buffer user, and paying customer, and think that this would actually help the sales pipeline for them. The MVP of Circular is so narrow (given only 1 dev), that it would make me wish for more, and with the attribution Julien gave to Buffer hopefully users will click-through.
Since the Buffer guys have a referral system already in place, maybe you can use Circular to generate some lead gen/affiliate income for you Julien. I would suggest reaching out to them, they are all really cool guys!
Just an idea - best of luck!
