From thoughts to social by way of GitHub issues and my site

March 28, 2026

One of my goals this year is to post on social media more often.

I wanted to figure out a way to maintain ownership of the content (platforms don't last forever) and make publishing on mobile easy, so I built a simple system to do just that.

The pipeline is:

  • GitHub issues as the backend (CMS)
  • Next.js ISR on my site to render the issues as noted
  • API push to Typefully as a draft that I can edit and post on social.

The mobile app is GitHub, and the interface for issue creation is clean and stable.

It's a nifty setup so far, but this is the first post so we'll see how it goes on the highway.
