That is a nice out-of-the-box thinking. I found some plugins that could work. Unfortunately using Wordpress means that I should get a web hosting and set up a website. That even would be okay. The lack of Wordpress security and storing your API keys there is a serious problem and probably a turndown.

I think installing Wordpress locally, using WAMPP or XAMPP or so, would work, but I haven't thought it through.

  Thanks, will give a try. Currently not seeing why it should not work. Worst-case scenario, I will need a proxy.

WordPress, out of the box, is quite secure, especially if it's not a high traffic site. And then most of the plugins that interact with services like social media either use tokens or one-time keys, so I wouldn't worry about these issues too much (depending on the plugin you choose). Source: I've built, maintain, and use a number of WordPress plugins that interact with social media.

  Thanks, this is good to know. Most likely will start with Wordpress. Still wonder if there are any free solutions. If not, Maybe I can engineer one in the near future.

    Please do. I’ve been looking for something similar for ages. Buffer et all are expensive for simple publishing. I finally bought a lifetime membership to Radaar on AppSumo, but the “post to multiple channels” could be simpler and I’ll never use all the other 100 features they offer.

        I am going to make core functionality open source on Github. Currently doing some research for market and engineering. Hoping to make the core functionality using only front-end code to keep the costs as low as possible. I will give you a heads up when I have a plan in place.
