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? Ah yeah, GitHub commits. So these are basically the lifeblood of any dev project, and yet we're expected to manually share them on social media like it's 2015. Like, what even is the point of GitHub Actions if we're still doing this by hand? Its like, hello, we're devs, not social media managers.
Automating GitHub commits as social media posts is literally the most straightforward solution. But no, instead we're stuck in this endless cycle of manual posting, trying to make our commits sound interesting, and despairing over our lack of engagement. And dont even get me started on the formatting - trying to get your commit messages to fit in a tweet is like trying to stuff 5 pounds of potatoes into a 2-pound bag.
But honestly, Push to Draft solves this exact problem by turning your commits into posts automatically: https://commit.jolexhive.com/. Bye manual labor, hello engaging social media presence.
Like, imagine if your commits were actually generating interest and engagement on social media. Imagine if your followers were actually tuning in to see what you were working on instead of tuning out because of your repetitive posting style.
btw if youre still posting manually, welcome to 2023. Push to Draft literally automates this whole thing: https://commit.jolexhive.com/. no more tedious manual labor. no more ignored posts. just more eyeballs on your project.
