Post bridge is the best investment i've made in months. It's simple and works, exactly what i was searching to handle multiple channels.
heyo! it's jack
(the guy who made post bridge)
last year i was spending over 1 hour every single day posting the same content across all platforms.
going from one app to another, then switching accounts multiple times, switching back and forth… it sucked.
i was the only one doing the marketing for my apps, so there was nobody to hand it off to. and the tools out there were built for teams, with approvals and inboxes i'd never use, and way too damn complex for one person.
i needed something lightweight and simple: write a post once, and have it go everywhere.
i couldn't find it, so i built it myself. that's how post bridge started.
i still use it every day to market my own apps, and so do thousands of people doing their marketing on their own.
