I built yet another social media scheduler. Please tell me why it's doomed

I built yet another social media scheduler. Please tell me why it's doomed

Every morning I used to open Threads, then Instagram, then TikTok, then Pinterest, copy the same caption five times, forget which account I already posted to, and wonder why I chose this life.

I'm a solo dev, not a social media manager, but somehow I was spending more time posting than actually building.

So I did what any reasonable developer would do, instead of fixing the problem in 10 minutes with a spreadsheet, I spent some weeks building an entire app.

It's called Saki (https://usesaki.com/), and the idea is dead simple: you write your post once, pick which accounts it goes to, and that's it. One composer, all your platforms, done. You set up your weekly schedule once, and the queue fills itself.

Your old posts get imported automatically so you're not staring at an empty dashboard on day one. There's a calendar view so you can actually see the gaps in your content instead of pretending you have a strategy. Plus there's full APIs support with MCP coming soon so all the automations with Zapier, N8N and Make are even possible.

I won't pretend it's revolutionary. There's no AI writing your captions, no "optimal posting time" algorithm, no growth hacking magic. It's just a clean, fast tool that does the boring part of social media so you can stop context-switching between six browser tabs.

It's free to start, no credit card needed, and if you hate it, at least you'll have a good roast to write here.

Tear it apart. I want to know what sucks before strangers on Product Hunt do.
