Two things our users kept asking for shipped this week: → CSV export → a dashboard that loads 40% faster The export took a day. The speed took two weeks, because we had to admit the old query was the problem. Lesson: the boring fix is usually the one people notice.

Shipped CSV export and a 40% faster dashboard. The export got the applause. The speed got the retention.

The parts you'll use most
Why not ChatGPT or an X/LinkedIn writing tool?
Each of these covers part of the job. Here's which part.
| Growpostfor founders | ChatGPTgeneral AI chat | Typefully / TaplioX & LinkedIn tools | Writing it yourselfthe default | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shipping note → posts for three platforms | ✓One click | ~If you prompt for each one | ~Focused on X and LinkedIn | ✕Time you don't have |
| Instagram included | ✓Yes | ~If you ask for it | ~Not their main focus | ~Rarely, in practice |
| Video scripts for demos | ✓Hook, arc and CTA | ~If you ask for it | ~Not a scripting tool | ✕Winging it |
| Publishes automatically | ✕By design, you post it | ✕No | ✓Scheduling is a core feature | ✕No |
If you only post on X and LinkedIn and want scheduling built in, a dedicated X/LinkedIn tool is a fair choice. Growpost is for turning the note you already wrote into drafts across more surfaces, including video. Competitor features change often, so check their current plans before deciding.
Questions founders ask
Will it make up metrics or claims about my product?+
It's instructed to only use what's in your note. If you didn't write "40% faster", it won't either. Read every draft before posting.
Can I keep a company voice and a personal voice?+
Yes. Save more than one brand voice and pick which one to use per post.
Why not have my team's marketer do this?+
If you have one, great, and they can use Growpost too. Build-in-public tends to work best in the founder's own voice, which is why this starts from your note rather than a brief.
How is this different from Typefully or Taplio?+
Those are strong for writing and scheduling on X and LinkedIn. Growpost also covers Instagram and video scripts, and it doesn't post for you.
Can I paste release notes or a commit message?+
Yes. Anything short works: a commit message, a Slack update, or a line from your changelog.
