Hi Everyone, long time!
Been an incredible few weeks to create new features for Postiz.
Postiz is a social media scheduling tool supporting 18 social media channels:
Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn, X, Threads, BlueSky, Mastodon, YouTube, Pinterest, Dribbble, Slack, Discord, Warpcast, Lemmy, Telegram and Nostr.
https://github.com/gitroomhq/postiz-app/
We have added some cool features all in the open-source:
- New provider: Nostr - it was pretty challenging to understand how to implement it, but it’s awesome, it’s a protocol that works on Websockets (you can find platforms built on that protocol like Iris and Primal)
- Tagging - You can tag posts (text + colors) and later see them on the calendar with the color/text.
- Webhook - You can create webhooks on published posts
- Signatures - You can save signatures that can be used later (and also add a default one)
- Repeated posts - You can add posts that will repeat every X amount of time (pretty challenging implementation)
- Fixed Telegram - it can now schedule for both channels and groups
- Added digested notifications - if you have multiple posts scheduled for the same time you will get only one email about them.
Next:
- I am working on RSS auto-reposter, for example if you have a new blog on your website it will automatically be posted on your socials (with AI for the text and pictures)
- Chrome extension that replaces your textarea on social platforms to Postiz directly with Postiz.
- Sync old posts (that were not created by Postiz)
- Social Templates - you can create a template of multiple social media so instead of selecting your socials everytime, you can just use the template.
I have seen some posts on the channels that it’s hard to self-host postiz. I agree documentation is lacking. and I haven’t found enough motivation to update the missing thing - I know it’s the core of open-source and I am super sorry about that.
It’s also challenging to add providers, but that’s already something that I can’t solve as we are all bound by social networks approval process.
If somebody can help me out filling it out some missing docs, that would be amazing!

Thank you for the constant support!

It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out what this actually is.
I followed your link, and read the “how it works” page and only then realized that this is for “scheduling” in a programmatic sense, not scheduling in a calendar events and appointments sense.
But is this understanding correct? That this is a tool designed to aid for example, a social media coordinator for an organization, or a brand manager? Something to help send out updates or messages at pre planned times? Or perhaps to allow you to create one statement and post that to several different platforms?
Sorry for the confusion, it allows you to schedule your social posts on social media in one place.
