Postlane Documentation

Postlane turns your development workflow into short and long-form content. Write code, commit it, and let Postlane draft the posts.

How it works​

  1. Initialise a repo with npx @postlane/cli init and add it to the desktop app
  2. Run /draft-post in your IDE -- Postlane reads your git context and drafts posts based on what changed
  3. Edit the draft, customise per platform, and approve in the desktop app -- or schedule for a later time via a connected provider

What you can post to​

LinkedIn, X, Bluesky, Mastodon, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Substack Notes, and more. You can reach platforms through a scheduling provider like Zernio, or connect directly to platforms that support it without any provider in between.

Where to start​

  • Installation -- get the desktop app running on macOS, Windows, or Linux
  • Your First Post -- walk through from zero to first sent post, step by step
  • Scheduling -- connect a provider and queue posts for the right time
  • Direct Channels -- connect to Mastodon and other platforms without a provider
  • Analytics -- measure traffic driven by your posts
