About ShipContent

ShipContent turns development activity into social posts. You connect GitHub with read-only access to the repositories you choose, and when a pull request is merged or a release is published it drafts a post for each connected platform, currently X and Bluesky, with voice and length adjusted per channel. Voice options include product or brand, build in public and personal solo developer.

Drafts can be reviewed and published manually, or autopublished after a configurable delay that leaves a window to review or cancel. Project memory helps it decide what is worth writing about in a noisy commit history. When the monthly X posting limit is reached it hands you X's native post composer so publishing stays possible, and Bluesky has no limit. The site says it only reads merged PR diffs and release notes, and the free plan needs no card, with a Pro plan available.
