simplex

Let's simplify our relationship with social media by going from duplex to simplex.

This tool allows broadcasting a message on Twitter, Bluesky, Mastodon and LinkedIn with a single command.

Depends on t, toot, bsky and linkedin-cli. It's on you to procure those clients and perform the initial authentication process.

The shell script in this repository is very simple, so you can easily comment out or add new clients based on your needs.

Setup

• follow steps here: https://github.com/mattn/bsky to setup bluesky posting
• follow steps here: https://github.com/sferik/t-ruby to setup twitter posting
• follow steps here: https://linkedin-cli.tigillo.com/ to setup linkedin posting

Usage

• Follow the login procedure on each of the clients.
• Run post.sh, it will open your default editor (like git commit does).
• Write your message, save the file, close the editor.
  • If your file is not saved or left empty, the operation will be aborted.
• Your message will be sent on all platforms, assuming everything goes well with the relative client.

Sending images

To add images to a post: ./post.sh img1.png imgN.png. The social media sites currently supported allow up to 4 images.

NOTE: sending a image post will skip LinkedIn as the relative client doesn't support images yet.
