How poostit works
The shortcuts a tester wishes they'd known on day one.
The 60-second flow
- Type your email at /signin and click the link we send you. No password to pick, no invite code, no waiting list — if you're new, your account is created the moment you click the link. Signing up and signing in are the same box.
- Connect at least one platform under Connections. Sign in with each platform once — no keys, no copy-paste. Pinterest and Tumblr are open to everyone; see the next section for where the others stand.
- Drop into Calendar → tap New post. Pick platforms, upload an image (or skip if the platform allows text-only), type your copy, and either publish now or schedule for later.
- Scheduled posts fire automatically. Failed posts show a red chip with a one-line reason and a retry button.
What each platform supports
- One image per pin (no carousels).
- Pick a board (and optional section) at compose time.
- Title, description, link, alt text.
- Stats: impressions, saves, pin clicks, outbound clicks.
- Brand-new Pinterest connections post slowly during our setup period — ping us if you need higher throughput.
Tumblr
Open to everyone- Text, a single image, or several images stacked.
- Tags are how Tumblr makes a post findable — add at least 3.
- Pick which blog to post to (sideblogs work).
- Stats: total notes (likes + reblogs combined).
- Built and wired end to end, but we haven't cleared Meta's App Review yet.
- Until they do, only accounts we've added as testers in the Meta dashboard can connect — everyone else gets turned away by Meta at the Instagram sign-in screen, before poostit ever sees it.
- Want to be added? Email poostitapp@gmail.com with the Instagram account name.
- Once connected: single image or carousel of up to 10 images.
- Caption fits your title, description, and link in one.
- PNG and WebP get converted to JPEG before upload.
- Carousels: all slides get cropped to match the first image.
- Per-post stats aren't wired yet.
Threads
Meta testers only- Same situation as Instagram: built, wired, and waiting on Meta's App Review.
- Only accounts added as testers in the Meta dashboard can connect today — same list as Instagram, same address to ask: poostitapp@gmail.com.
- Once connected: text-only, single image, or carousel up to 10 images.
- Combined text is capped at 500 characters.
- Per-post stats aren't wired yet.
- Written and wired on our side; waiting on LinkedIn to approve the app.
- The card is visible in Connections but can't be connected yet — nothing to do until we flip it on.
Google Business
In the works- Written and wired on our side; waiting on Google to approve Business Profile API access.
- Same as LinkedIn — visible, not connectable yet.
Errors you might see
- “Your Pinterest (or Tumblr) connection expired.” Open Connections, disconnect, and reconnect. This rarely happens — most expirations renew silently in the background.
- “Instagram (or Threads) hasn't approved publish access.” That's Meta, not us: the account isn't on our Meta tester list, and App Review hasn't cleared the app for the public yet. Email poostitapp@gmail.com and we'll add the account as a tester.
- “You've hit the closed-testing limit of 31 posts this month.” Or its cousin, “each brand can post to that platform once a day.” Both are beta caps, not a paywall — see below. They reset on their own; there isn't anything to buy.
- “That image is too big.” Keep uploads under 20MB. Most phone shots are fine after we re-encode them.
- “Pinterest's daily limit.” Brand-new Pinterest connections are temporarily limited while we finish our setup. Wait 24 hours, or email us for a heads-up on the timing.
- Click “show raw error” on any failed post for the underlying details — useful when you send us a bug report.
What it costs, what it caps
- Free while it's in beta.Payments are switched off entirely — there's no card to add and no plan to pick. Paid plans come later, with plenty of warning.
- 31 posts a month per account. Counted when a post leaves draft; resets on the 1st.
- One post per brand, per platform, per day. Batch-scheduling a whole week still works — the cap is per target day, not per sitting.
- Up to 5 brands on one account.
- These are beta guardrails while we keep the load predictable, not a paywall. If one is genuinely in your way, email us.
Privacy + deletion
We hold sign-in tokens for your connected platforms, your drafts and scheduled/published posts, and the images you upload. Delete everything at /account/delete — instant, no email required. Full policy at /legal/privacy.
Found a bug? Have a feature idea?
Hit the floating feedback widget in the bottom-right of the app — it captures a screenshot you can annotate. Or email poostitapp@gmail.com. Both reach us; we read every submission.
