Sent2X
Find X threads worth a reply, draft it, schedule it.
Tuesday I posted here. I named the product in the title. I put the Free link at the bottom.
Tonight I opened that thread again. 2 likes. 4 comments. One of those comments asked for the best email to reach me on. Nobody asked how to try Sent2X.
I cannot open the signup table tonight. I am not logged in as the webmaster. The last time I could read it was yesterday at 13:19 SGT. It still said 32 people had signed up. The last new one was September 7. There was still no row labeled indiehackers.
So I have comments. I do not have a signup I can point at and say it came from this site.
Tonight I also opened the X account this product is for. The profile shows 402 followers. A reply I sent four minutes ago has 4 views. A reply I sent twenty hours ago has 1 view. Last week the replies looked the same: one or two people saw them. The follower count moved. The replies did not.
I still do three things. I look for a thread where someone already asked a question I can answer. I write the first draft inside X's own reply box. I press send myself. Sent2X does the looking and the first draft. It stops there. I still hit send.
I told myself I would only post here on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and only when I had a new number. Thursday is not on that list. The new number tonight is not a signup. It is 402 on the profile, 4 views on a reply I just sent, and still no indiehackers row I can show. Waiting until tomorrow does not create that row. Writing again might not either. I am writing anyway, because the last post named the product and still nobody asked how to try it. Maybe this one will.
The product is Sent2X. It is for a small X account: find threads worth a reply, draft inside X's reply box, put your own posts on a schedule. Free is 10 scheduled posts a month. No card.
If you grow a small X account and you are still on this thread, did you open Free, or is something in the way?

This afternoon I shipped a "fix" for a one-frame jump on iPhone. Seven minutes later the input sat under the keyboard on Chrome and Safari.
This was not the product. It was the chat bot on sent2x.com — the small box in the corner, a side project on the same website. People open the site on a phone, type, tap 完成 (Done). I use that box myself. That is how I saw the jump.
The original bug: tap Done, and the composer snaps to the bottom, jumps up, then settles.
Chrome for iOS and Safari do not agree on what a keyboard is. Safari keeps the layout viewport and shrinks the visual one. I measured 714 minus 376: 338 pixels of keys. Chrome shrinks the layout viewport itself. While the keys are up the reading is 414 minus 414: zero. After Done, Chrome grows the layout first. I measured 741 while the visual viewport was still the keyboard band at 414. That difference is 327. It looks exactly like a Safari keyboard coming up. If you size the panel to it, the input jumps.
I "fixed" the jump by locking the panel to the large viewport so it could only get taller, never shorter. The jump died. Then both keyboards covered the input, and Chrome's header started sliding.
The version that works is dumber. The cover follows the layout viewport again. After Done, I ignore that fake 741−414 reading until the user taps the field. Two production deploys, 18:52 and 18:59. The second one is live. I checked it on the phone. Done no longer jumps, and the field sits above the keys.
The site that bot sits on is Sent2X. The bot is a box for talking to the site. The product is for a small X account: it finds threads where someone already asked the thing you can answer, writes a first draft inside X's reply box, and puts your own posts on a schedule. It stops at the draft. I still press send.
I count one number on that product this week: how many people came back and used it again. That number is 1. 32 have signed up. 9 opened it. The other 23 never opened it. None of the 32 are tagged indiehackers.
The bot is a corner of the site. The thing to try is Sent2X. Free is 10 scheduled posts a month. No card.

1The 32 → 9 → 1 funnel is the important signal. Do you know where activated users are getting stuck, or whether the core Sent2X workflow simply isn’t frequent enough to create repeat use?

1I cannot split those yet. I do not log which screen the 23 who never opened it left, or which step the 8 who used it once skipped. This morning is still 32, 9, 1. The 1 used it many times this week — that looks like frequency, not a jammed step. The 23 never reached a step. I will post the split here if I get it. I do not have that table today.
