Hashtag Extraction

When you set tags on a Post, OwlStack automatically converts them to platform-appropriate hashtags.

How it works

$post = Post::create('Check out our new release!')
    ->withHashtags(['php', 'laravel', 'social-media']);

// OwlStack appends: #php #laravel #socialmedia
$client->publish($post, [Platform::Twitter]);

The hashtag engine:

• Prefixes each tag with #
• Removes special characters (spaces, punctuation)
• Limits the number of hashtags based on the character budget
• Appends hashtags to the formatted content only if there's room

Character-budget-aware

Hashtags are only included if there's enough room within the platform's character limit. On Twitter (280 chars), if your content is 270 characters, hashtags won't be appended. On Telegram (4,096 chars), they almost always fit.
