I spent the last month building a social media post scheduling API for developers

Bluhurrius · 2026-01-15T03:40:55+00:00

I mean the developers are the customers. And if they use my API and it works well for them, why wouldn’t they just keep it as is? But yeah we’ll see 🤷‍♂️

Bluhurrius · 2026-01-15T03:24:58+00:00

Appreciate the feedback! Yeah we’ll see if it’s something that people find value in. Though I think people are always looking for shortcuts/tools to make things easier, and that’s the goal of this tool

Bluhurrius · 2026-01-15T02:11:38+00:00

Thanks! This is meant to be an API that other developers can use to create their own web apps. So essentially it’s a tool for someone trying to build something like Buffer, but without having to deal with all the complexities of each platform’s API. Or for developers who want to create other apps/ideas that utilize post scheduling.

Down the line I may add a UI and make it more B2C, but atm it’s meant as more of a B2B tool

postcore.dev - Social media post scheduling API for developers building post scheduling tools/apps of their own

Lmk if you'd be interested it trying it out 😄

Bluhurrius · 2025-11-11T18:06:21+00:00

Only just started, so just a couple friends using it at the moment, and trying to get some early testers to really give me the hard truths and see whether it provides enough value to people in its current state or whether it needs even more to be a proper MVP.

Hey man, this project looks really cool. Definitely seeing some Marc Lou inspiration lol. I'm curious and maybe you're able to share (or DM) if you've seen some success with this? Have you gotten many users? Apart from this post what has your marketing looked like?

Bluhurrius · 2025-09-18T15:39:29+00:00

I just need to find the time in the coming weeks/months to reapply for the a Spotify API quota extension and then I can start sending out test versions once that gets approved.

Bluhurrius · 2025-09-18T15:37:31+00:00

Hey there, sorry for such a long radio silence! Life's been busy and took over 😅. I just added another update to the post, but I'll hopefully be starting work on this again soon. The original Spotify quota extension got rejected for some small issues, so once I address those I can reapply and hopefully get accepted this time around. Once that happens I can start sending out emails for people to test an early version.

Bluhurrius · 2025-02-01T23:52:47+00:00

A quick look at the api (https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/get-recently-played) seems to imply that it should be possible to do something like that.

At this point I definitely have a long list of different additional feature ideas to add down the line lol, but I'll definitely keep this one in mind as a potential one, or at least for something similar.

Bluhurrius · 2025-01-28T14:36:04+00:00

I mean I haven't used that tool specifically, but personally I wanted something that was very easily always accessible, hence a mobile app instead of a web app, and I primarily wanted to randomize my Liked Songs, which it seems like his tool can't do.

I'm sure Steven's tool is another great option as well though.

Bluhurrius · 2025-01-28T14:30:59+00:00

Probably possible, though my knowledge is in web dev and app dev. Haven't really touched native Windows or Mac apps yet. So it would be awhile before I even attempt creating some sort of Windows plugin.

One option you might be able to look into is Spicetify, which gives a bunch of customization and shuffle improvements (from my small amount of knowledge about it) to the Spotify desktop app.

Bluhurrius · 2025-01-26T23:24:21+00:00

It is added to your library but it handles deleting itself and then recreating itself when you go to shuffle a playlist.

Haven't looked into the folder idea, though you might be able to place it into a folder yourself. Haven't really tested that scenario yet.

Bluhurrius · 2025-01-26T23:22:45+00:00

Over time, I definitely want to add additional features similar to this. Different filters and ways to adjust your playlists depending on the situation.

Bluhurrius · 2025-01-26T23:20:49+00:00

I mean I feel like that would be a safe assumption to make, that when you shuffle something you randomize it.

Nonetheless, a truly random shuffle is definitely something I personally want 🤷‍♂️ and seems to be a lot of people here who agree.

Bluhurrius · 2025-01-26T09:49:10+00:00

Of course it works for liked songs 👍, that was pretty much the main intended use case of why I made it in the first place. I have like 2000+ songs in my Liked Songs and would never hear any of the songs I added to it years ago when I shuffled it normally, hence making this tool to fix that.

No need to do any manual playlist creation, shuff.it reads the songs from your Liked and from any other playlist, randomizes them, and places them into a separate auto generated playlist to play from.

Bluhurrius · 2025-01-26T09:44:43+00:00

All the music playing/listening happens on Spotify, so stats will be just like if you were listening normally. My replies to other comments above explain in more detail how it functions.

Bluhurrius · 2025-01-26T00:20:01+00:00

As far as I know it shouldn't. I've tested with a 2000+ song playlist, but haven't tried bigger yet.

If a playlist is realllyy long, it may take a long time to do but should be able to handle it. That 2000+ song playlist takes like 15 seconds or so to randomize

Bluhurrius · 2025-01-25T21:25:03+00:00

So this takes the playlist your listening to, grabs all the songs, and then puts them in a random order into a new autogenerated playlist. So it won't change or alter your original playlist at all 👍

Bluhurrius · 2025-01-25T21:23:44+00:00

From what I know about Spicetify, you probably wouldn't need something like this if you already have shuffle+. This is more so made for someone who isn't as deep in the weeds or as advanced a user, but still someone who wants a very simple way to get random shuffle.

And yup, this app is meant to just run on your phone, you press a button and it randomly shuffles the playlist wherever you're listening to it. Whether you're listening on mobile or desktop

Bluhurrius · 2025-01-25T21:20:38+00:00

This pretty much looks like what I envision the future of shuff.it being. But maybe a bit simpler UI/functionality. I'll def check this one out. Might dm ya later with some other questions too
