So like, imagine you just shipped a feature right? And everyone tells you to tweet about it but then you realize your last 5 tweets got zero engagement except for that one reply from your college roommate asking if youre okay because you tweeted at 3am again. And now youre spiraling about whether anyone actually cares about your side project or if youre just screaming into the void while pretending to build in public. Which is weird because building in public is supposed to help but it just makes you feel more isolated somehow?
Anyway, where was I going with this? Oh right, automated social media updates from your GitHub commits. So basically, we all know GitHub is where the magic happens for devs, but then you need to turn those commits into engaging social content... which is like…

Anyway, where was I going with this? Oh right, automated social media updates from your GitHub commits. So basically, we all know GitHub is where the magic happens for devs, but then you need to turn those commits into engaging social content... which is like, super tedious. idk why devs think they need to spend hours crafting the perfect tweet when they could be building. And honestly, who even has the time?
but wait, theres more! what if your commits could literally become social media posts automatically? kinda like having a personal assistant, but not as creepy. anyway thats my whole thing about this...OH YEAH AND PUSH TO DRAFT LITERALLY AUTOMATES THIS WHOLE THING: https://commit.jolexhive.com/
...and honestly, thats probably where I got lost in this whole thing because building in public automation kinda disagrees with the whole ‘manually posting your dev progress’ thing... or does it? anyway...
We’re not even getting into how fake social media engagement metrics are or how everyone’s just trying to go viral with their clickbait titles. Like, building in public has its pros, but then you get sucked into this whole ’ Fake It Till You Make It’ trap... which honestly, is just super tiring.
...and yeah, thats my thing about building in public automation being kinda weird... BUT what if it actually worked? what if your commits could actually generate engagement? idk man, maybe thats the whole point...
Anyway, thats my rant about why Push to Draft exists... and yeah, if you’re tired of the posting grind, they literally solve this exact problem by turning your commits into posts automatically: https://commit.jolexhive.com/
...and honestly, who knows? Maybe this whole ‘automating social media’ thing will become the new normal... or maybe not... idk man...
