Cross-post your blogs to Hashnode, Dev, and Medium at once. Automating the process

If this is the first time we meet, I am Ganesh. I've been writing programming articles and tutorials for 2 years now. Here's my blog: https://cloudnweb.dev/

I have to say that blogging has changed my career a lot. It helped me to find better opportunities and passive income and connect with a lot of great developers.

As much as I like to blog about technical stuff, it becomes inevitable to spread the word across the community. I have to cross-post my content to make it more visible in the developer's community. It was a manual and time-consuming process.

I was looking for a solution to address this issue. I found out about Buffer and Hootsuite. They solved the problem partially, but it is expensive. So, I decided to build a simple tool to solve it.

https://crossxpost.app/

We can now cross-post to Hasnode, Medium, and Dev.to at once with canonical URL.

Let me know the platform(s) you would like to be added to cross-post.

      Thank you. Glad to hear that. it will be helpful if i can get more insights about your workflow towards writing.

      1. syndicating the content across social platforms
      2. how do you currently spread the word about your writing?

      i am curious to know that. it will help me to shape the product towards it.

    Sounds interesting, I was looking for something like this.

    Currently I'm cross posting articles to my own blog (https://www.dsebastien.net/blog), Medium, DEV.to and hashnode. And it's tiresome. Each has their own way of embedding content, and simple copy-pasting doesn't cut it. Image formats are not the same everywhere (e.g., I use SVG on my blog, but can't on the other platforms), and embedding tweets, gists, YT videos etc is always specific too.

      1. 1

        Yes, of course you can :)

    Very interesting, I will have to take a look at this. I currently use Buffer paid service and have been very happy. But they do seem to be falling behind on supported networks.

    1. 1

      1. 1

        Sure please feel free to msg me, I would love to help. Thanks
