There is good news about this project and its progress: we are adding a new feature: Tweeting on X!

What’s new in v1.2.0

The pipeline now supports tweeting on X in addition to WordPress and Dev.to.
Content is still written once, in Markdown, and then distributed automatically.

WordPress remains the canonical source. This means:

  • A post is considered authoritative once it exists on WordPress
  • Any downstream platform (Dev.to, X, LinkedIn, etc.) builds on that state
  • Republishing only happens when the content actually changes

This avoids duplicate work and keeps all platforms consistent.

Why this matters

So far, this setup already enables:

Advertisements
  • Write-once publishing
  • Deterministic re-runs in CI
  • Platform-specific adapters without content duplication
  • A single source of truth stored in PostgreSQL
  • downstream-publishing on Dev.to

Additionally there are now backlink graphs

  • Detect links between posts automatically
  • Track relationships in the database
  • Use this data to:
  • Improve internal linking
  • Strengthen SEO
  • Keep related content connected over time

Now we can also tweet about it and thus amplifying reach.

I used to have external plugins for posting on X and showing related posts. External plugins are always a security risk and often enough stop working because the author had something else in mind. Moving the logic to the publisher and being able to delete those plugins was a good decision.
