This project will provide an API and UI for accessing up-to-date content specifications for various social media and blogging platforms (post types, character limits, image dimensions, upload sizes, etc, etc). It automatically tracks changes to platform guidelines, extracts specification information using AI, and makes this data available through simple API endpoints and a user-interface.
The goal is to help content creators and developers easily align AI-generated content with the requirements of different platforms to be able to set up automations quickly.
For a breakdown of the project's idea, constraints, launch plan, and so on, please see the project plan.
This project has just started. Stay tuned via x.com for updates!
Ways for anyone to contribute and speed up the projects progress (both code and non-code related). See contributing.
This is a community project. Both plan and code will be open, and we encourage anyone to steal it. If you manage to build something quicker and nicer, by all means do so, but if you do, make sure it is and remains accessible. That's the whole point of sharing this. This project is about openness and accessibility.
