The problem it solves

Manually checking a list of accounts for new posts every day is tedious and easy to forget. You end up missing timely posts or spending time scrolling through feeds that could be spent elsewhere.

Who it fits

Social media managers or researchers who track a specific list of accounts.

How it works

  1. You provide a list of usernames to track
  2. The system fetches all posts from those accounts within the last 24 hours
  3. Posts older than 24 hours are filtered out
  4. Each post is saved with the username, text, timestamp, and link
What you get

Accounts whose posts you never miss

You get every post from the accounts you follow collected automatically each day, organized and ready to read whenever you have time.

What you get

An organized database or spreadsheet of the last day's posts from every account you track.

What you need

A social media API or scraping access and a PostgreSQL database or 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.
