Introduction
Why FoPost?
Why use FoPost instead of building integrations yourself or using other tools.
Why OwlStack?
The problem
Every social media platform has its own API, authentication flow, rate limits, media constraints, and content format. Building integrations means:
- Writing platform-specific code for every network
- Managing OAuth tokens, bot tokens, and API keys for each
- Handling rate limits, retries, and error responses differently
- Resizing media, enforcing character limits, converting markup
- Maintaining all of this as APIs change
How OwlStack solves it
One SDK, 11 platforms
// One call publishes everywhere
$results = $client->publish($post, [
Platform::Twitter,
Platform::LinkedIn,
Platform::Telegram,
Platform::Discord,
]);Cloud-powered
OwlStack's servers handle all platform API communication. Your application never makes direct API calls to Twitter, Facebook, or any other platform.
- No API credentials in your code - connect platforms via OAuth through the OwlStack dashboard
- No maintenance burden - when Twitter changes their API, OwlStack updates the server. Your code stays the same.
- Instant platform support - new platforms are added server-side. No SDK update required.
Clean PHP SDK
// Immutable, type-safe value objects
$post = Post::create('Hello world')
->withMedia(Media::image('/path/to/photo.jpg'))
->withHashtags(['php', 'opensource']);
// Post is readonly - safe to pass aroundFramework integrations
Laravel:
use OwlStack\Laravel\Facades\OwlStack;
OwlStack::to('twitter', 'linkedin')->publish($post);WordPress: Publish directly from the post editor. No code required.
