Here is what’s new:
-
New Editor - The Previous editor was clunky, with many hacky hooks, real technical debt, I spent two days (monk mode), and created something awesome, UI and UX also changed.
-
Overall better UI / UX - showing the amount of characters/characters left.
-
OIDC fixed, working well now :)
-
Sets, you can define a template of a message that will be posted later
-
X - added option to select who can reply to your post, post to an X community
-
BlueSky - Upload videos to BlueSky
-
Integrations - you can work with an integration such as Heygen to generate content for you; you can see more here.
-
Drag and drop pictures directly on the editor now shows progress in “%”
-
Alt and thumbnails for media - This is the initial release, which currently allows you to add alt and thumbnails for pictures, but these changes are not yet reflected on the backend.
Everything as usual is available on the open-source :)
This may be a dumb question, but why use an open source social media tool if you’re on platforms that are pretty much the antithesis of being open source and private? (Instagram, X, Tiktok, etc)
Well one advantage is you can just use this tool instead of needing to use each website or app individually, it saves a lot of time that way.
Also might as well have one less company collecting data on you, vs using a commercial closed source social media management tool.
This is rreeaaalllyy close to what I want. However, it’s missing WordPress. I think I’ll set it up and play with it anyway just to see though…
