Automating cross-posting of an indie hacker's technical content across multiple platforms (Twitter, LinkedIn, Product Hunt) while adhering to each platform's best practices

1. Describe the problem:

I'm an indie hacker / developer. I build digital products, but my biggest challenge is marketing them. To get visibility, I need to publish content simultaneously on Twitter (X), LinkedIn, Product Hunt, Reddit, Telegram, while following the best practices for each platform (different formats, hashtags, optimal posting times). This consumes a huge amount of manual time that I simply don't have. I want to focus on coding, not on the cross-posting routine.

2. How often does the problem occur?

This is a daily routine when launching and promoting any new product or feature. Every time I need to announce an update, I face this multi-hour task.

3. What attempts have you made to solve the problem?

I'm trying to solve it with my own app, but that distracts me from core development. I've also tried services like Buffer, but they don't account for the specifics of technical content and the best practices for niche platforms like Product Hunt or Hacker News. I need a tool tailored for us — indie developers.

4. How much are you willing to pay for the solution?

I'm willing to pay $10 per month for a service that truly solves this problem: automatically adapts my tech blog post or announcement to the requirements of key platforms and publishes it at the optimal time, freeing me up to work on the product.
