The problem it solves

Planning social content is one thing, but manually publishing every post and thread at the right time eats up your day. Coordinating multi-part threads and images by hand makes it even easier to miss a scheduled slot.

Who it fits

Social media managers and creators who plan content in a spreadsheet and want to schedule Bluesky posts in bulk.

How it works

  1. On a set schedule, the automation checks your Google Sheet for posts marked ready
  2. It links related posts together into threads using their shared thread ID
  3. It downloads any linked images and attaches them to the post
  4. It publishes the post or thread to Bluesky
  5. It updates the sheet to mark the row posted and saves the live link
What you get

Posts that go out exactly on schedule

Your planned posts and threads publish to Bluesky right on schedule, straight from the list you already keep in a spreadsheet.

What you get

Published Bluesky posts and threads, plus an updated Google Sheet showing what went live and when.

What you need

A Bluesky account and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
