Hey, I made an application to automate the process of posting on different social sites by picking up the new items from RSS feed. You may check it out, if you think it can be helpful for you https://github.com/abhiabhi94/social-post-bot

Nice. Thinking of making it a SaaS?

I haven't thought about it. There are a couple of platforms I know that do offer this service like Zoho, SocioBoards, IFTTT etc. What really annoyed me was IFTTT was asking for too much of permissions. It kind of made me write the application for myself. If explicitly asked I wouldn't even trust myself with all of these permissions. :)

True. That's too much. 🤣 It's great to have open source alternatives for these services.

The other alternatives I mentioned don't post directly rather they can be used for scheduling a post. But still, you have to again write stuff. So, i guess there's a scope for Software as a Service.

Do this automatically check for new content (maybe on a cron basis)?

The application itself doesn't do that but you can add a

cron

job that executes the application periodically. I thought about doing it inside the application, but then thought of different complications, one of them being: different users may have want to schedule it differently. Also scheduling this requires one to just add a single line.
