Hi Indie Hackers š
Iāve been working on a project called PostCraft AI, and I wanted to share the story behind it.
Iāve always struggled with writing consistently on LinkedIn. Iād open the editor, stare at the blank box, and either overthink the wording or give up entirely.
When I talked to friends and colleagues, I realized I wasnāt alone: many busy professionals (and especially introverts) want to post, but they either donāt know what to say or they worry that using AI makes them sound fake.
PostCraft AI is a writing assistant for LinkedIn. Itās not meant to spit out viral content in one click. Instead, it works like this:
You start with raw notes, bullet points, or a rough draft.
PostCraft helps you shape it into a post that flows better.
You can then tweak it so it still sounds like you.
The whole goal is to remove the friction of posting while keeping the authenticity.
Itās focused only on LinkedIn, not "every social media platform."
The UX is deliberately simple: I want it to feel like editing with a helpful friend.
Iāve avoided "marketing fluff" templates. Itās about enhancing your voice, not replacing it.
Frontend: Next.js
Backend: Supabase
AI: OpenAIās API (with prompts tuned to keep style natural)
The product is live at postcraft-ai.com. Right now Iām looking for feedback:
Does the tool feel useful in practice?
Does it strike the right balance between speed and authenticity?
Whatās missing that would make it a must-have for you?
Iād love to hear your thoughts. If youāve ever felt stuck staring at the LinkedIn post box, this is for you.
That's a great idea tbh, you could also ship a voice lock to keep tone consistent and a one click trim to fit LinkedInās limit :)
Hey! Thanks for the comment.
I am planning to ship this in the future. I am still not sure if I would ask for some input or grab a few past LinkedIn posts to establish the "personal/own tone". Also been thinking about leveraging a chatbot to help people generate their posts.
Do both. Auto seed tone from 3 to 5 posts, let users tweak formality and energy and a do not say list, then lock it. Chatbot critiques first, writes two short options, one click trim with auto split, save tone as a reusable voice card :)
Oh and btw, we could partner up. Me and my team are building HustleAdvisor, a social network where entrepreneurs share practical step by step lessons. If you join the waitlist and later post a short write up about building Postcraft, we will boost it in the main feed so more people see it :)
You get: more users
We get: an experienced entrepreneur on board
Good luck with the launch!
Hey! Thanks for the feedback, I will keep them in my roadmap.
Let's definitely chat more about the partnership. I am interested.
Hey Mauricio, just wanted to let you know that we launched!

Hey! Congrats on the launch!
Just joined it.
Thanks a lot! Would love to see a post about PostCraft at HustleAdvisor!
Happy to help with the roadmap!

Feels like AI with manners...love it
Hey! Thank you :)
Really like this, clear problem, tight scope, and a product that helps people get from āidea ā publishā without the usual friction. The focus on fast draft-to-post flow feels right for busy creators.
Curious what your key activation looks like: first scheduled week, first post published, or adding a custom voice? And which channel is bringing in the most paying users so farācommunity/X, showcases, or SEO?
P.S. Iām with Buzz ā we build conversion-focused Webflow sites and pragmatic SEO for product launches. Happy to share a quick GTM checklist if useful.
Thank you!
I am learning and progressing slowly, thanks for the offer though, I am intentionally doing those things myself.
This is brilliant! The "enhancing your voice, not replacing it" approach is exactly what's been missing from most AI writing tools. I've tried several LinkedIn assistants and they all make posts sound like they came from the same robot. Your focus on LinkedIn-specific optimization is smart too - each platform has its own culture and what works on Twitter definitely doesn't work on LinkedIn. Just tried it and the UX really does feel like having a helpful editor. The way it preserves authenticity while removing the "blank page paralysis" is perfect. As someone who also struggles with consistent posting, this solves a real problem.
Hey!
Thank you for the kind feedback. It honestly gives me the fuel to keep going and make my product better every day.
I was also wondering if you would be interested in having this testimonial shared on my landing page. I am looking for real people with authentic feedback to add in there.
We can chat more if you want, I can provide you discounts on paid plans as a form of gratitude if you are interested :)
Absolutely! Iād be happy to have my feedback featured as a testimonial on your landing page. Feel free to use it as is. Iām actually in the middle of launching my own product (a business tracker for solopreneurs) and I know how valuable authentic testimonials are for building trust. And yes Iād definitely be interested in chatting more about the discount ā At some point in the near future, I can see myself using PostCraft regularly for my own LinkedIn content as I build my business.
Nice, thanks again!
Let me know when you're about to launch your product, and let me know if I can support you.
Let's connect somewhere else(X, email, or LinkedIn, what's your preference?), so we can further chat and I can provide you with the lifetime discount. Glad that you're willing to use PostCraft AI as you build your business!
Perfect! I'd love to connect and support each other's launches.
Email would work best for me right now ā I have just finished on building the product and haven't set up all my social profiles yet (classic founder move, right? š ). You can reach me at clintonl@planvio.net or share yours and I'll reach out.
My product is a comprehensive business tracker for solopreneurs - helps them manage both business and personal finances in one place. It's been a journey getting it ready, but I'm excited to finally share it with the world.
Ā I'd definitely appreciate any support when I launch on IH (hopefully in the next day or two once I get posting access). And I'm absolutely interested in that lifetime discount - PostCraft will be perfect for my content strategy as I grow the business.
Awesome. You can count on me for the launch; just let me know.
Sent you the email as well, cheers!
