Social Media Scheduler

Batch your content. Free up your week.

The Problem

Founders know they should post consistently on social media, but switching between Twitter, LinkedIn, and other platforms kills productivity. Buffer and Hootsuite are bloated and expensive. Most end up posting inconsistently or giving up entirely—leaving growth on the table.

The Solution

A dead-simple scheduler focused on the platforms that matter: Twitter/X, LinkedIn, and Threads. Write once, schedule everywhere. Add AI to suggest captions and optimal posting times based on your audience.

How it works:

1

Connect accounts

OAuth for Twitter, LinkedIn

2

Write & schedule

AI suggests captions and times

3

Auto-publish

Posts go out on schedule

Market Research

Social media management is a $20B+ market. While enterprise tools dominate, there's strong demand for simpler, affordable options from solo founders and creators.

Buffer has 140K+ paying customers—proves the model works
Typefully (Twitter-focused) raised $2M for a simpler approach
Creators increasingly want cross-posting without complexity

AI Prompts to Build This

Copy and paste these into Claude, Cursor, or your favorite AI tool.

1. Project Setup

Create a Next.js app for a Social Media Scheduler. Features: - OAuth connections for Twitter and LinkedIn - Dashboard with calendar view of scheduled posts - Compose modal: text area, platform toggles, date/time picker - Queue view showing upcoming posts with edit/delete - Settings page for connected accounts Use Supabase for auth and database. Store posts with: content, platforms[], scheduled_time, status (scheduled/posted/failed).

2. Core Feature

Implement the posting system: 1. Use cron job (Vercel cron or similar) to check for due posts every minute 2. For Twitter: use Twitter API v2 to create tweets 3. For LinkedIn: use LinkedIn Share API 4. Handle rate limits with exponential backoff 5. Update post status and log any errors 6. Send email notification on failure Store OAuth tokens securely and handle refresh automatically.

3. AI Features

Add AI-powered features: 1. Caption generator: Given a topic/idea, generate platform-optimized captions - Twitter: punchy, with relevant hashtags, under 280 chars - LinkedIn: professional tone, longer form, with call-to-action 2. Best time suggester: Analyze when similar content performs well (default to general best practices: Twitter 9am/12pm, LinkedIn 8am/5pm) 3. Thread converter: Turn a long text into a Twitter thread with proper numbering Use Claude or GPT-4 for generation.
