Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm David, the maker of Cue.
This started over the Christmas holidays – I was building an app and needed to promote it across multiple social accounts. I looked at Buffer, Hootsuite, Later... they all worked, but pricing scaled fast once you needed more than 2-3 accounts. For a solo dev? Felt excessive.
So I built something for myself. Two weeks turned into four, and the tool I made to promote my side project became THE side project.
What Cue does:
📅 Schedule across 8 platforms – Twitter/X, Bluesky, Threads, Mastodon, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook (TikTok, Pinterest & YouTube coming soon)
🎯 Auto-scheduling – Picks optimal posting times based on engagement patterns
✍️ Write once, customize per platform – Tailor your message for each audience, schedule everywhere
🤖 AI assistant – Help with writing captions and creating images
🔌 Full REST API – Build your own integrations
⚡ n8n workflows – For automation power users
🧠 MCP integration – Schedule posts directly from AI assistants like Claude
It's free to get started, and I'm offering early supporters 50% off paid plans for the first 3 months.
Questions for the community
1. What features matter most to you?
2. What would make you switch from your current tool?
@dparrelli Hi David, congrats on launching Cue. Building something from your own pain point is always a good sign.
I work closely with startup founders and solo builders, and social posting is one of the biggest things that gets dropped when things get busy.
The write-once, customize-per-platform feature stands out for me. That solves a real workflow problem.
One thing that would matter most to many founders I support is simple approval and scheduling visibility, especially when juggling launches and updates.
If you ever want feedback from the “behind-the-scenes” side of founders, I’m happy to share insights from my work.
Wishing you a strong launch.
Scheduling across 8 platforms hits scale pain fast: OAuth token churn, per-platform rate limits, and idempotency issues that create duplicate posts when retries happen.
Best practice is a platform-adapter layer with a durable job queue, per-destination idempotency keys, webhook-based status reconciliation, and an audit log that can replay or cancel safely.
Do you expose a per-post execution trace (API request IDs, retry history) and support “single source of truth” edits that propagate to already-scheduled variants without breaking platform-specific constraints?
Cue
@ryan_thill We use a job queue system with retry logic and idempotency handling to prevent duplicates. Users get notifications if something fails and can see post status in their dashboard. We don't expose full execution traces yet but that's solid feedback, will add it to the list.
@dparrelli Love that you’ve got retries + idempotency in place and a clear status surface in the dashboard, that’s the combo that keeps async systems sane at scale. Notifications on failure are huge for trust.
Execution traces would be a big unlock for debugging and support, even if it starts as a redacted per-step timeline with correlation IDs.
We’re here to work too, happy to help however we can.

Hey, looks great! Love your brand name and style.
What features matter most to you?
If content curation was integrated to the platform, that'd be fantastic!
Cue
@alina_petrova3 Thanks Alina! We have content curation through the AI assistant currently - it can generate captions and images for you. Still early stages but we're revamping it soon to make it even better.
If you have ideas on your ideal content curation flow, would love to hear it!
SEMrush
@dparrelli Sounds good, I'll try!
Congrats on the launch! Playing with it now! LOVE the idea!
Cue
@felicitemoorman Thanks so much, seriously means a lot! Let me know if you have any questions while exploring.
Cool, I might give it a try! Quick question:
>Auto-scheduling based on engagement patterns
means that Cue will schedule posts for the days and times that historically got more engagement?
Congrats on the launch — Cue’s multi‑platform, AI‑powered scheduling feels perfect for lean teams and creators.
Cue
@zeiki_yu Thanks Zeiki, really appreciate it. That's exactly who we built it for 🙌
Really interested in this! I’ve used Hootsuite in the past, but found it to feel a bit outdated and clunky for my needs.
Do you happen to have any blog posts or comparisons between Cue and other social media managers like Hootsuite or Buffer? I’d love to better understand how you differentiate and where Cue really shines.
Cue
@jake_friedberg Thanks Jake! We actually have comparison pages for both Hootsuite and Buffer on our site. They're great tools, but they get expensive fast as you scale or add more accounts. We built Cue to be more affordable whilst trying to maintain similar feature-parity.
@dparrelli love that, thanks for sharing!
