Here is what’s new:
-
New Editor - The Previous editor was clunky, with many hacky hooks, real technical debt, I spent two days (monk mode), and created something awesome, UI and UX also changed.
-
Overall better UI / UX - showing the amount of characters/characters left.
-
OIDC fixed, working well now :)
-
Sets, you can define a template of a message that will be posted later
-
X - added option to select who can reply to your post, post to an X community
-
BlueSky - Upload videos to BlueSky
-
Integrations - you can work with an integration such as Heygen to generate content for you; you can see more here.
-
Drag and drop pictures directly on the editor now shows progress in “%”
-
Alt and thumbnails for media - This is the initial release, which currently allows you to add alt and thumbnails for pictures, but these changes are not yet reflected on the backend.
Everything as usual is available on the open-source :)
I don’t really use any of the AI stuff, as I just want it to post on a schedule for me. It’s mostly just an optional thing to help you write the posts themselves, but it’s super easy to ignore.
But, to be honest with you, I’ve had terrible luck with it and we are about to move back to Hootsuite. It was incredible difficult to set up, we have constant bugs with it, and the devs are super hostile and unwilling to help in the discord. It seems like they really want you to pay for their hosted version which would probably be fine, but for basically the same price Hootsuite was a more mature and fully featured platform. Plus, they actually have support.
Damn, that’s unfortunate, but good to know. Thanks for the info.
