Each platform has different character limits, hashtag conventions, and audience expectations.</p> <p>I built <strong>Social Post Copy Generator</strong> to solve this exact problem.</p> <h2> What It Does </h2> <p>Input one product description, get:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>2 title variants</strong> (A/B testing ready)</li> <li> <strong>Short summary</strong> (optimized for X's 280 chars)</li> <li> <strong>Long summary</strong> (perfect for Dev.to/Hashnode)</li> <li><strong>Platform-specific hashtags</strong></li> <li><strong>3 CTA options</strong></li> </ul> <p>All with one-click copy buttons.</p> <h2> Why I Built This </h2> <p>As an indie maker shipping multiple projects per month, I was spending more time on distribution copy than actual development. The pain points:</p> <ol> <li>X needs punchy, short copy</li> <li>Dev.to readers want technical depth</li> <li>Hashnode audiences prefer structured content</li> <li>Hashtags differ across platforms</li> </ol> <p>Manually adapting content for each platform was killing my momentum.</p> <h2> Tech Stack </h2> <ul> <li> <strong>Next.js 16</strong> - Latest stable</li> <li> <strong>React 19</strong> - Server components</li> <li> <strong>Tailwind CSS</strong> - Rapid styling</li> <li> <strong>TypeScript</strong> - Type safety</li> <li> <strong>Vercel</strong> - Zero-config deployment</li> </ul> <h2> Features </h2> <p>✅ No login required<br><br> ✅ Instant generation<br><br> ✅ Mobile-friendly<br><br> ✅ One-click copy<br><br> ✅ Free forever </p> <h2> Try It Now </h2> <p>👉 <strong><a href="https://social-post-copy-generator.lingyicai.xyz" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://social-post-copy-generator.lingyicai.xyz</a></strong></p> <p>Perfect for:</p> <ul> <li>Indie hackers launching products</li> <li>Content creators managing multiple platforms</li> <li>Developers who hate writing marketing copy</li> <li>Anyone doing #buildinpublic</li> </ul> <h2> What's Next </h2> <p>Planning to add:</p> <ul> <li>Custom tone selection (professional/casual/technical)</li> <li>More platforms (LinkedIn, Reddit, HN)</li> <li>Saved templates</li> <li>Batch generation</li> </ul> <h2> Open Source </h2> <p>The project is open source on GitHub.
