well good morning.

i’ve been steadily been building out an rss scheduler in recent weeks, maybe a few hours (or more) a day back and forth, using agents for different sections, going over security, optimizations, fixes, ui/ux and something super fast and clean that i can run on my local machine that talks to api’s and does what i need it to do – this is just the first version but i’m pretty happy about the progress i’ve made with it, it’s not production ready enough to package it up and sell it to others but it’s getting some heavy testing!

some of the features are as follows

• support multiple platforms, each with their specific rate limiting/requirements
• check that i have local connectivity for when my connection is off
• what platforms are up and talking, checks for the api and general sites
• what happened recently and when the connectivity was restored
• posting windows! (when the best time of day on those platforms is best)
• when the next post is going out
• a “slots” scheduler so they get evenly padded/gapped out so not spammy
• max number of slots per day with automatic rollover for next day posting
• natural language analytics and at a glance
• pushover integration for when scheduler is up/down/posted/added to que
• quotes for inspiration each day

i’m probably leaving out crucial details of all the features but when i do finally push it i’ll probably end up putting it as a free version on github and a packaged up version for people using a mac with a nice app, tray bar notifications and all that good stuff, right now i’ve got too much on my plate to do that but i expect in time i’ll get into a flow and start putting out time saver apps like this for content creators and people who stream/game on the web – so many ideas to build out!

my plan is to build out a decent framework to rapidly prototype ideas and the websites around them and give away free versions of the codebase for people to adapt and build on themselves with ai and to leave a donation.

i’m thinking scale here, stuff that can be easily maintained, easily regularly promoted (think seasonal, think dynamic, think scheduled calendar ai marketing activities) and just a creative mental flow – idea, deployment, marketing, donation, next one.

i really wanted to see how far i could get with ai building a smart scheduler that i ran locally and then eventually deployed to a VPS somewhere in the cloud – obviously i’ve got plenty of testing yet to do but i’m super happy with it so far and i’m learning so much in the process. i might not totally understand at the code level all the things it’s doing but i do understand best practice and i believe we have a good human vs computer thing going back and forth.

what are you building out there?
