Ultra-Simplified Tweet Scheduler for Creators who are Easily Distracted (like me 🤪)
Twitter is a great place for building an audience and connecting with folks over shared interests.
But I'm also super distract-able. 🥴
So, I pop on to twitter to share an update on what I'm working on, and lose 30 mins of productivity scrolling through updates and peoples tweets, or thinking of some witty reply. That really sucks my limited creative time.
The idea is a tweet scheduler that is write-only—no feed and no notifications.
You queue up tweets. You don't pick a time. The scheduler distributes them evenly across the week. So, you could queue up 28 tweets in 2 hours on Sunday and tweet 4 times a day for the whole week. 🤦♂️
Check out a mockup of what it might look like. 👈👈
Is this dumb? Already been dumb? Am I the only one who has this kind of problem?
Super simple and great solution. Where are you planning to launch?
Thanks for the input! I don’t have a launch plan at the moment, but probably there’s be something on hacker news.
I’m exploring a couple of different ideas and this is one.
It looks good :)
Thanks!
But that's what we do at Zlappo. 😉
@simplisticallysimple, will check it out! I was guessing that somebody might already have a great solution. Thanks :)

Thanks for all the thoughts.
Agree that schedule a thread is super important.
Also, Good point about not being able to set a time. I’ve updated the mock a bit so that you can change the schedule but it’s more that your aren’t required to put it in every time. I find the whole pick a day/hour/minute think really clunky when all you want is “later”. So, it’s about having both. Anyway, I started updating the whimsical board with some UI to let you change that.
And I think the scheduling algorithm could be a little more complex that just raw 2/day = 12 hours apart. But probably an initial version wouldn’t be wildly more complex.
