Hi everyone, I have some exciting new things about Postiz! (Finally, good news.
Postiz is a social media scheduling tool supporting 19 social media channels:
Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn, X, Threads, BlueSky, Mastodon, YouTube, Pinterest, Dribbble, Slack, Discord, Warpcast, Lemmy, Telegram, VK, Nostr.

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 :)

Thank you for including this summary. It’s surprising how often that’s left out and it’s always valuable.
Sadly, it’s container-dependent, it seems. Also, it’s asking for supply-chain exploits and violating ISO27002 with
pnpm, but for a PoC setup it looks excellent.This seems like a really nice tool, congrats!
Too bad there is so much focus on AI though. The UI looks nice, and templating and being able to schedule posts would be super handy, but I don’t need an AI to write things for me. I find that using AI is ethically icky anyhow; I’d rather not have it in any of the tools I use.
Is it possible to disable all the AI features when using Postiz? Like, a boolean setting in the deployment configs would be great.
I don’t really use any of the AI stuff, as I just want it to post on a schedule for me. It’s mostly just an optional thing to help you write the posts themselves, but it’s super easy to ignore.
But, to be honest with you, I’ve had terrible luck with it and we are about to move back to Hootsuite. It was incredible difficult to set up, we have constant bugs with it, and the devs are super hostile and unwilling to help in the discord. It seems like they really want you to pay for their hosted version which would probably be fine, but for basically the same price Hootsuite was a more mature and fully featured platform. Plus, they actually have support.
What platforms does this run on?
