COVERAGE

4 default. 3 SEO. 4 video. 5 extended.

Springy ships 16 platforms — and as of v0.14, every one has a native, voice-critiqued generator (plus a Carousel generator for LinkedIn/Instagram swipe decks). The default cascade still fans out one anchor essay into four text platforms — LinkedIn, X-thread, Threads, Bluesky. SEO, video, and extended tiers are opt-in by flag, so existing runs don't change.

Beta tester reading? The PLATFORM_SUPPORT.md in the repo is the canonical readiness matrix — this page mirrors it but the doc is the source of truth and includes per-platform confidence + known limitations.

Default cascade

4 platforms

Runs on `cascade --top` with no flags. Generator + API publish + critique loop wired. The four-text default.

Platform Publish method Auth / setup Notes
LinkedIn API OAuth 2.0 150–300 words ideal
X (Twitter) API OAuth 2.0 PKCE 5–8 tweet thread
Bluesky API App password ≤300 chars/post; easiest first platform
Threads API Meta Graph API Meta dev-app required

SEO opt-in (--seo)

3 platforms

Long-form generators that run only when you pass `--seo`. Medium, Dev.to, and the Substack newsletter generator (subject + body, with the long-form vulnerability gate).

Platform Publish method Auth / setup Notes
Medium API Integration token Long-form draft; runs with --seo
Dev.to API API key Markdown + tags; runs with --seo
Substack Browser Browser session Newsletter generator (subject + body, vulnerability-gated); browser publish

Video opt-in

4 platforms

The generator drafts the script, caption, title and tags. For the MP4: drop one alongside the draft, or opt into a renderer via `SPRINGY_VIDEO_RENDERER` — HeyGen (text-to-video from the script) or OpusClip (clips a source video). Opt in with `--platforms reel,tiktok,youtube,rumble`.

Platform Publish method Auth / setup Notes
Instagram Reel API + Browser Meta + browser fallback Script + caption generated; MP4 from your file or a renderer
TikTok API Content Posting API Script + caption generated; MP4 from your file or a renderer
YouTube API Google OAuth Title + description + tags + hook generated; you supply the video
Rumble Browser Browser session Title + description + tags generated; needs an MP4

Extended opt-in (--platforms)

5 platforms

Native, voice-critiqued generators that publish to community + niche platforms. Kept out of the default fan-out so existing runs don't change — opt in with `--platforms reddit,discord,…`. Targeting details (subreddit, Pinterest board/image, Quora question URL) come from the draft frontmatter.

Platform Publish method Auth / setup Notes
Discord Webhook Channel webhook URL Community-message generator; webhook publish
Reddit API + Browser OAuth + RSS + Playwright fallback Value-first post generator; subreddit per draft
Telegram API Bot API Broadcast generator; channel publish
Quora Browser Browser session Answer generator; question URL per draft
Pinterest API OAuth 2.0 Keyword pin generator; needs board + image

API-first, browser fallback when there isn't one.

Where a platform exposes a usable API, springy uses it — faster, more reliable, better error handling. Where it doesn't (Substack / Rumble / Quora / Instagram Reel), springy uses Playwright to drive a real browser session you logged into once via springy browser:login <platform>. Session cookies are stored at 0o700 under config/.browser-data/.

Beyond publishing

v0.14 closed the loop from publish back to generation — all local, no extra model spend:

What's NOT shipped yet

Want a platform that isn't here?

Two paths, in order of how much time you want to spend:

  1. File a platform-request issue. Include a link to the API docs, the auth model (OAuth / API key / browser only), and whether you'd want to use it yourself.
  2. Write a plugin. Most simple text-posting platforms are 150-200 lines: a client, a setup flow, and a publisher. The plugin interface is documented, and plugins:new <name> scaffolds everything.
