StackBounty Content Automation Engine (SCAE)

A cross-platform ElectronJS desktop app to automate the creation and publishing of SEO-optimized AppSumo product review blog posts for StackBounty.

• Project Overview: See /docs/PROJECT_OVERVIEW.md

Setup

1. Install dependencies:

   npm install

2. Run the app:

   npm start

Security & Data Storage

Sensitive data (WordPress credentials, GenSpark cookies, API keys) is now stored securely using electron-store with strong encryption. Plaintext storage is no longer used.

• Encryption Key: You must set the environment variable STACKAUTO_ENCRYPT_KEY for encryption to be enabled. Example:

  export STACKAUTO_ENCRYPT_KEY="your-strong-random-key"
  npm start

• One-Time Migration: On first launch after upgrading, all legacy WordPress site data (from localStorage) and GenSpark cookies (from gensparkCookiesStore.json) will be automatically migrated to secure storage and the old file will be deleted.

Usage

• Input an AppSumo URL and select prompts/strategies.
• Generate article and image, review, and post to WordPress.
• Configure API keys and settings via the Settings menu.
