next: web dashboard so you can see your queue without a terminal

blurt now has three input methods:
drop a .md file in queue/
blurt post from your terminal
ask your AI editor via MCP

published a post to 3 platforms from Claude Code today.

no browser. no copy-paste. told the AI "post this to bluesky, mastodon, and linkedin" and blurt's MCP server handled it

this is what AI-native tooling looks like

"publish this to bluesky and mastodon" and it just does it

I miss it because I used it 1 month before going back to Ecosia
The experience was so so great tho

I’m not sure I understand what you mean

Blurt CLI Manage your social publishing queue from the terminal.

you can publish from your terminal now.

blurt post "hello world" --platforms bluesky,mastodon

one command. hits the API. post lands in queue, gets published, moves to sent/ with permalinks

Screenshot of the blurt.sh landing page — bold headline reading "Markdown in, posts everywhere." with a waitlist email signup form, open-source and MIT licensed badges, on a clean minimal white background

day 5 of building blurt in public.

rails 8 backend with 6 platform publishers. filesystem queue. markdown in, posts everywhere.

the landing page is up, waitlist is collecting emails, and the core engine is taking shape.

join the waitlist: blurt.sh

one markdown file. six platforms. bluesky, mastodon, linkedin, medium, dev.to, substack.

write once, blurt everywhere. no copy-paste. no six browser tabs. no forgetting which platform you didn't post to yet

happy friday. wrote about something that's been bugging me: why is your social publishing history trapped in someone else's postgres?

your posts should be files. grep works. git works. cp works.

blurt.sh/blog/why-your-social-posts-should-be-files

#ai #webdev #indiedev

you write a great post. then spend 20 min reformatting it for 6 platforms. copy-paste, resize images, fix char limits.

then pay $29/month for the privilege of scheduling it.

blurt fixes this. one markdown file. all platforms. files you own.

blurt.sh

#buildinpublic #webdev #indiedev

shipped the blurt.sh landing page in one afternoon:
express server (60 lines)
resend for waitlist emails
plausible for analytics
railway deploys from git push
nixpacks auto-detects node

the whole site is one html file + one js file.

i've been running a personal social queue script for months. markdown file in a folder → published to bluesky, mastodon, linkedin.

today it stops being a script and becomes a real product

github.com/fberrez/blurt.sh

#OpenSource #IndieDev #FOSS #SelfHosted

yes, planned and post with blurt

thanks! i wanted to self-host on a vps with no interface — just an editor and scp. your posts are markdown files, you own them, and if a platform dies tomorrow your content is still there. no export needed because there was never an import.

redesigned blurt.sh from soft gradients to brutalist terminal aesthetic.

sometimes a landing page just needs to look like it means business.
