The Post Place

The Post Place is your centralized content distribution system. Its goal is to take a single piece of content—text, image, video—and push it out to multiple platforms (e.g., X, Reddit, Instagram, etc.) while respecting each platform’s specific formatting and limitations (e.g., character limits, media constraints).

Key Features:

  • Platform-aware Posting: Automatically adjusts content to fit each platform’s rules (e.g., truncating text for X, title formatting for Reddit).

  • Smart Scheduling: Set timed posts across channels with timezone support.

  • Integration Management: Each integration (e.g., Reddit, Mastodon) is tied to a client and has its own settings.

  • Content Templates: Uses DTOs and PHP backend to standardize content generation before dispatch.

  • Rate Limiting Compliance: Adapts posting strategy based on API limits per platform.

Suggestions to Improve:

  • Add Post Preview UI: Show platform-specific previews before scheduling.

  • Queue System: Use BullMQ or similar to handle retries and throttling.

  • Analytics Dashboard: Show delivery success/failure, engagement metrics (when available).

  • Webhook Support: Trigger downstream tasks (e.g., logging, notification) after posting.
