Could you build this?
Partial A basic post scheduler is straightforward, but maintaining verified API access, compliance, and webhooks across 10+ social platforms (Meta, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, etc.) is notoriously complex.
What it would actually take: A production-grade multi-platform social publisher requires a robust job scheduler (e.g., BullMQ/Redis) and official enterprise developer access to 10+ social APIs, each with strict rate limits, varying media formatting pipelines (transcoding video specs per platform), and strict review processes. The core difficulty lies in long-term maintenance of breaking platform API changes, token refreshing, and passing stringent partner app audits.
