I Built Linkeme to Automate Social Media. It Started with a Simple Pain.
Hi Indie Hackers 👋
Two years ago, I was drowning in LinkedIn posts I should write.
I had just sold my previous company and was running a consulting business. My clients expected me to be visible online, especially on LinkedIn. But writing posts, creating visuals, tweaking the call-to-action, and then manually scheduling everything… it was a mess. I spent more time fighting algorithms than building anything useful.
So I did what every founder eventually does when they’re frustrated enough: I automated it.
At first, Linkeme was just for me. A bunch of automations duct-taped together. But it worked. Every week, it generated professional, illustrated posts — complete with headline, subtitle, and platform-specific CTAs. It even posted them. No human touch.
Eventually, I realized this wasn’t just a personal hack. It solved a real problem for founders, consultants, and content-starved teams. So I rebuilt it, cleaner and more scalable, with a proper frontend and backend. (The whole thing runs serverlessly on AWS now and handles thousands of users.)
And that’s how Linkeme was born.
💡 If you’re a founder, indie hacker, or solo operator trying to stay visible online without spending hours writing posts — this might help you too.
I’d love your feedback — the good, the bad, and the brutally honest. AMA about the tech, the growth, or the business model.
Thanks for reading!

I need this, I hate posting on linkedin
thanks, you can try for free !
This is very cool. I love how something that started as a personal project turned into a tool that actually helps others. I’m also struggling with LinkedIn posts while trying to create something that attracts business owners.I’m only 16 and looking for internships, aiming to build a future in SaaS and cybersecurity.Really inspiring to see how you made it work.
Thank you so much — that means a lot.
The truth is, it did start with the same kind of struggle you’re describing: I was trying to figure out LinkedIn myself, without time or energy to post consistently. So I built Linkeme just to solve my own problem… and it turned out others had the same one.
At 16, you’re already thinking like a founder — building, learning, and sharing publicly. That mindset will take you far, especially in SaaS and cybersecurity, where creativity and persistence matter more than age or credentials.
If you’re ever looking to test ideas, contribute to open tools, or just talk product, feel free to reach out.
Keep going — the world needs builders like you.
Thank you so much, Julien really appreciate your response. That mindset you mentioned is exactly what I’m trying to follow. I’d love to stay in touch, and if you’re open to it, I’d be happy to add you to my network on linkedln my name there is Edward Todor.Thanks again for taking the time to reply it truly means a lot coming from someone building something real.
I’m glad to hear the mindset resonated with you, and absolutely, feel free to add me on LinkedIn. I will just accept your request!
Very well written post, I can see how many people struggle with this. Very valid idea btw, as it is something you’ve experienced yourself, so you know what the pain points are.
Thanks for your support, highly appreciate !
This is so relatable.
I’m also building something solo — my project helps people gamify self-discipline through an RPG-style experience.
Great to see others building tools that come from personal pain points. Keep going!
Thanks !
Wow that is something i can super relate with,
posting content on even one social media is hard with work on hand nowadays...
You're welcome to try, it's free for 30 days and we continue to improve the app, we are totally open to all feedback !
This is super relatable — I’ve abandoned multiple attempts at keeping a content routine going because of how much overhead it takes. The fact that Linkeme generates illustrated posts and handles scheduling automatically sounds like exactly what I would’ve needed back then.
Curious — how much customization do users have over the generated content? Can they tweak tone, add personal context, or guide the topics?
Yes they can tweak tone, add personal context and guide the topics. In fact, the system generate a summary of your activity based on your website, you can add or changeall what you think is the best for your communication.
Super cool! I've been looking for things like this for other social media for quite some time as well
thanks you can try 30 days for free and provide feedback !
This is something I could use
