Hi everyone, it’s been a while since my last update.

Just a recap: Postiz is an open-source social media scheduling tool supporting 25 social media channels/platforms. (including Lemmy)

You can craft different posts, schedule them in advance, and cross-post them to multiple platforms, and use various tools to make them better.

Any star would be amazing ❤️

My daughter was born 3 months ago, and I felt so burned out that I thought about selling Postiz. But after a while, I suddenly found the energy to go back!

I am struggling today to maintain the open-source side. Most of the PRs I get aren’t “good enough,” and just checking and iterating on them is super hard (time + mentally). Sorry in advance for unanswered PRs.

I do want to say that everything that I develop every day is always open-source, I have no closed-source code.

There was one thing that always hit me as feedback from open-source developers I have read before: “Usually open-source is not as good as commercial products.”

And I kind of agree with the notion. But because of that, I decided to stop adding new features and make the system as good as possible in both UI and UX.

I have contacted my designers and redesigned the entire post-creation process

Before:

After:

So here is what’s new:

• Complete redesign, higher quality, it doesn’t look “bootstrappy” anymore.
• Schedule post size increase to the size of the screen to fullscreen.
• First post takes the entire screen; when you add comments, it shrinks.
• Inner scroll for the posts lists and the preview, before it was scrolling the page, and made it very uncomfortable.
• Indicator over each social platform if you exited global mode, see the small pink circle.
• Different previews for all the major platforms.
• Tons of bug fixes I have found on the way.
• Indicator about the number of characters in every channel - on the global edit.
• Remove the option to add comments in platforms that you can’t add comments to 🙈
• Media library design (UI and UX improvement): When you select multiple media items, it will tell you the import order.

Some other new features:

• Add a new provider: Google My Business.
• You can disable email notifications for successful / failed posts.
• Added a new MCP and Agent to schedule posts (AI stuff)
• Add Listmonk as a provider - yes, you can schedule newsletters :)

Thank you so much for this amazing community. I hope you had a merry Christmas.

And I wish you all a Happy New Year!!
