I watched so many videos, but I never imagined that my little SaaS and I could be there.
Thank you for the opportunity to talk about open-source marketing!

If you’re building a social media scheduling tool, check Postiz’s open-source error handling and learn from it.

Yes—mapping all errors and building a proper error handling mechanism is hard, but you have to do it.

Or, it could give specifics: – Video frame rate is invalid, check video specs – TikTok detected potential spam in the text – Account banned from posting, check TikTok account status

Example: In Postiz, you can schedule a post to TikTok, but sometimes it fails. The error might just say: “Error Occurred.”

The real problem wasn’t the error itself—it was not knowing what the error was. If your users don’t know, it’s likely you don’t know either.

Errors in your SaaS will not necessarily lead to churn. Frustration will. I’ve seen it in the first SaaS I built. People would reach out to customer support: "My Workflow is not working," then cancel subscriptions.

Postiz is not a product for self-hosters only, but for production users who are not technical.

I might be able to get an MD editor in the future as well. You don't have to attack me brutally; I did provide this solution for free, with no other alternative available.

The role will need to be added.
The rest are possible with the tiptap editor; you don't need to write HTML, it does it for you.

If you use the public api, it's a different issue.
But there is no limitation, there is just a limitation of how you want to write it.

It converts it to markdown,
You can use <a> <strong> <u> <p> <ul> <li> at the moment

Now you can't use Markdown anymore, you have to use HTML

Not true.
PostIt Markdown support is 10 times better than it was before.
And yes, we fixed many bugs.

Actually, there was no markdown support before.

→ For the devtools hardcore, list it on npmjs, pip, etc. It's a no-follow link, but it's still strong.
→ For open-source projects: list on Coolify, Elastio, Cloudron, Unraid, etc. Postiz receive a significant amount of traffic from there.

→ More niche with marketplace integrations: Add your SaaS to Atlassian, Trello, Monday, ActiveCampaigns, etc. You would be surprised how many people are using those tools.

→ Publish on @n8n_io, @make_hq, @zapier, their docs will also give you a powerful backlink - 80+ DR
→ Create plugins for WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Webflow, etc. You are now competing in the SEO search inside the platform.

The best way to attract traffic and customers for your SaaS is to leverage other powerful websites to drive traffic to your site.

The old UX was mediocre, and I'm sure many people canceled their subscription because of that. I went into monk mode, and in two days, I recreated it — much better, simpler, and faster. So happy that it's out!

I just fixed the most significant technical debt Postiz had. When I first created the post creation modal, I made numerous changes and built it relatively quickly, but it was clunky. Sometimes things would not work for people, and I would have to find a "patch" to fix it.

That's a wrap!
