Best Hypefury alternative?
Pretty clear that the Hypefury founder and I don't share the same values when it comes to the treatment/respect of others and I'd like to vote with my money by spending it elsewhere.
If you're using another tool to schedule tweets/tweet threads a suggestion would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You do you. Feel free to boycot / whatever. And it's fair question to ask.
My personal opinion is we all got iPhones. And I'm pretty sure the factories they're building them in are a hell of a lot worse than a tweet about masks.
Guess I'm just saying where do we draw the line.
Cause we're not boycotting Amazon and Apple. I'm writing this on a Mac.
I'm not having a go. Just saying I don't much like to see an Indie Hacker dragged through the mud when we'll let Bezos and whoever the f runs Apple get away with literal murder ...
Hey Harry, thanks for the comment and absolutely love your content.
I did my best to not drag anyone through the mud with this post but it's not an isolated incident with this dude, nor is it just 'he doesn't believe in masks'.
You're probably right that I, and many others, are hypocritical in when we choose to vote with our money and maybe this guy is just unlucky in that sense. But I've followed him long enough on Twitter that I don't mind him taking some heat for this (but again I did my best not to draw attention to anything beyond 'we don't share values' - that's a bit of an understatement to be honest)
To your question of where do we draw the line: when we have lots of bad options we have to pick one, as is the case with Apple (no company that can serve me the way Apple can is clean and in the clear so it's picking the lesser of evils). That's not true with a SaaS product like HypeFury, lots can offer me similar and hence voting with my money is easy and does not affect my ability 'to win'.
Imagine the extra trouble you'd have 'winning' if you built a SaaS without using any Apple or Google tech - you might as well be sentencing yourself to business/financial death. That's the difference imo.
Yes.
I don't think you did didn't drag anyone through the mud. And you were respectful for sure .
I think cause the post got so many upvotes it felt bigger than it was. But in reality you asked a straightforward, fair question.
I take your point about Hypefury being replaceable. And Apple not being. Something I didn't consider.
All respect Amar!
Then don't use phone.
And you're in very small group of hypocrites.
I was going to say exactly the above - Apple is almost irreplaceable. Hypefury isn't.
Still none the less it is hypocritical.
Do you know that you can schedule tweets from the web interface without third party apps? It's a new feature that launched a few months ago. Not sure about threads though.
Hey Amar, I'm kind of curious what happened to sour the relationship, without going into too much detail. There may be some learnings for the community.
+1, don't have a twitter feed anymore and in dire need of drama
ah, right.
Think it’s more related to calling his customers clowns 😅
little column A, little column B I imagine.
I've very much enjoyed the values and value of Buffer.. The company was remote before it was hip, or an existential priority.
I’ll second Buffer. It has a great UX and supports a wide variety of services.
@simplisticallysimple was giving good advice about Twitter. He's working on Zlappo which might be similar.
Perfect, I'll give it a look
Don't know about the threads but for scheduling simple tweets the native TweetDeck is good enough to handle the job for you.
Awesome, thank you. Only discovered TweetDeck in the last week or two and it's quite helpful :-)
Great! If you find a Hypefury alternative to schedule threads and retweets, do share with us as well.
👏🏻👏🏻 👊🏻
Yeah, you know what's up. He block me too lol
I never ever try to engage in content like that, but it got my blood boiling seeing it come from within the Indie Hacker community 🤦🏼♂️
I don't know any other tool that can schedule threads, but Publer is a good alternative for scheduling things on Twitter, Facebook and other platforms.
Thanks Janel
I do not know Hypefury. For my own "content management" I wrote my own automation. See https://github.com/xh3b4sd/github-tweeter. I have a content repository and a cronjob setup on my machine which by now automatically runs, takes a post from the repo and tweets it. My queue is always full and I extend the list of available content every day. Not sure how fancy you need it but this works great for me.
That's cool!
Without going into too much detail, can you show us where Samy went wrong in your opinion? - So we can become better founders...
I'd prefer not to get into it but there's a screenshot above someone else posted.
The core difference between Hypefury and Typefully is that one focuses on Twitter account growth, while the other has built-in marketing features that amplify your sales results.

I've been using Sendible recently for Tweet scheduling. The app is amazingly full featured. It does recurring tweets, has an in-built content library, allows you to save your own library of posts to reuse and edit.
I can't say how it compares to Hypefury, having never used Hypefury, but there's definitely some overlap.
