Show HN: Fast way to build digital presence across multiple platforms

Hello,

I am a tech blogger and last year I wanted to have my own website for writing blogs and doing content marketing.

Since I love programming, I could have built the site by myself but I wanted to test the no-code solutions, so after spending sometime researching I ended up going with Wordpress. However i found it tedious and for some reasons, hard and slow.

Anyways, I tried other platforms like Wix too. Problem then came was I had to share my work on social media platforms to get more readers and also post it on hashnode and Medium. It was becoming time consuming and monotonous process.

Hence, I decided to build a solution and the result is Leansence.

It is geared towards bloggers and content marketers. It provides an easy to use website builder with the ability to write blogs and add products, with unlimited bandwidth.

You can also directly post your blog to Medium(hashnode and dev.to support will be added soon) and also share it on twitter( can also split it into threads).

It also has social media tools so you can schedule your Twitter posts and threads. Hence you are getting website builder, blogging ability, as well as social media tools.

I have great ideas for the future and any feedback would be appreciated.

This looks pretty good. As you pointed out, it's a crowded marketplace, but none of the incumbents seem all that invincible. If you focus on executing in your niche, I think you could do really well.

Have you thought about how you'll integrate other big social platforms: YouTube, Instagram, TikTok? I know the picture/video format requires a big expansion of features, and it might be better worth your time to refine the Medium/Twitter connectors, but it's hard for any social-promotional strategy to ignore those platforms. Even just a mechanism to format a post before copy-pasting into the network's app might be a way to approach it.

Instagram is almost ready and it will be rolled out in the coming weeks. I don't have any plans for Youtube and Tiktok yet but definitely will include them later.

As for the mechanism to format before posting, it is a very appropriate suggestion and I have added into my features pipeline.

I am currently working on a version that implements Canva so users can edit their instagram,twitter etc photos before posting them.

I am having trouble finding users though.

This is very interesting. Congrats and good luck with the product!

Any chance you'd provide a hosted solution where I can get the code and run on my own AWS account or a Hetzner server, for example?

I am open to the idea. It has crossed my mind several times. I'll probably look into this later this year with more added features. I am planning to integrate AI(content generation) to write blogs, build sites etc and right now thats top of my priority list.

Hey might want to review how your site looks like in safari mobile. The content seems aligned to the left only

I won't blame them -- It seems to be the hard-to-customize youtube embed that's breaking it.

I solved it actually by making the container responsive.

Thanks for pointing out, I will get to it asap. :)

Fixed it. The update is rolling out.
