The problem

Your audience is on the open web

Indie hackers live on X, Bluesky, Mastodon, and Hacker News. Most scheduling tools don't support Mastodon or Bluesky at all. Shaflex supports both natively.

You're building, not managing social media

You need to share updates, not spend 30 minutes formatting posts for each platform. Shaflex's draft-to-publish flow takes under 5 minutes.

Enterprise tools are built for marketers, not makers

Hootsuite and Sprout Social are designed for 20-person marketing teams. You need something simple that gets out of your way.

How Shaflex helps

Native Bluesky & Mastodon support

Shaflex is one of only two scheduling tools that natively supports both Bluesky and Mastodon. Reach the decentralized web alongside X and LinkedIn.

Cross-post build updates

Write your 'shipped a new feature' update once and publish it to X, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon, and LinkedIn simultaneously. Character limits handled automatically.

Thread support across platforms

Write multi-part threads about your journey, technical decisions, or product launches. Publish threads on X, Threads, LinkedIn, Bluesky, and Mastodon.

AI-powered content tools

Use AI to analyze your writing voice, generate engaging hooks from your best posts, and find the optimal posting time. Ship code, not social media busywork.
