The ultimate Twitter scheduler

I’d been sampling many twitter scheduling tools lately - Typefully, Threadstart, Black Magic, tld.rip, Typeshare.

Not tried Hype Fury, Tweethunter and Queue.so but should.

After using these tools on my own tweets over the past few months, I’m starting to have my own preferences on what a Twitter scheduling tool should do for me.

Here’s my feature list wish for my ultimate Twitter scheduler:

Account

• Easy toggling for multiple accounts during scheduling and replying
• Multiple users for each account for teams collaboration
• Synced to cloud, accessible across devices (desktop and mobile)
• Downloadable data, bookmarks, drafts, swipe files in JSON, CSV formats
• Importable data like lists, bookmarks, drafts
• Overlay data/design on profile thumbnail or banner image (like on Black Magic, or laser eyes etc)
• Create progress bar on profile page that integrates with Stripe/Chartmogul or anything I’m tracking
• Create trackable shortlinks for link on bio to see analytics
• Create bio link page for collection of links

Integrations

• Integration with third party tools like Zapier, Integromat, IFTTT
• Integration and tweet from Notion, Google Sheets, Airtable
• Integration with email lists tools like Mailchimp, Convertkit
• Also publish to Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok
• Integration with automated design tools like Bannerbear to create images from Twitter to post to Instagram, e.g. post screenshot of tweet to IG

Editor

• Plain text editor field like Typefully where 2 empty lines is to add another tweet in a thread
• Rich text editor that I can toggle on or off, for adding bullets, checkboxes, emojis
• Being able to attach images, gifs and videos (most tools only allow for images). Search Unsplash/Pexels for images or videos.
• Adding alt text. Alt text improves web accessibility, is a good social cause to support, and favoured by the algorithm.
• Focus mode or clean writing blank canvas
• Toggle on/off preview mode, or the editor is exactly how it looks like on Twitter
• Shareable links for tweet/thread drafts with permissions settings, plus commenting features (ala Google Docs)
• Collaborative writing features for each tweet
• Tweet to everyone, or to specific Twitter Communities

Automation - scheduling, auto-RTing

• Basics like custom scheduling for each tweet, and setting up a queue schedule
• Unlimited scheduling
• Ability to schedule into the distant future
• Auto-RT and auto plug features are a must-have. Saves time and effort to manually RT
• Apparently Tweethunter has a feature to delay tweeting all tweets in a thread in one go. They said the algorithm doesn’t like all the tweets in a thread going out at once as it spams your followers feed. So they have feature to set like 1min delay before tweeting out the next tweet in the thread. Thought that was a useful feature! I do this manually now which is a pain.
• Recommend best time slots for tweets and engagement when scheduling
• RT for old tweets (that didn’t send out on the scheduling platform before). Copy paste the tweet url and schedule a RT slot. Or a RT queue for old tweets.
• Undo the RT from the auto-RT after set number of hours. This prevents your profile page feed from being cluttered with repeating tweets (annoying for reader as they scroll down)
• Currently I have to tweet out my thread before I can get the link to the first tweet to include in the last thread tweet, like this:

If you like what you read, please retweet the first tweet
{{ link to first tweet }}

There must be a feature to do that in the thread so that I don’t have to manually tweet the link at the end.

• Auto-DMs, for say, giveaways or engagement
• mass scheduled DMs to selected accounts

Social media calendar

• A grid calendar view of all the tweets that had been published and queued to be published
• Draft, scheduled and tweeted tabs/filters to see the state
• Upcoming Spaces to attend or set up, save recording(?)
• Track streaks like #100daysofcode, #100daysofmarketing, #tweet100, #tweet365, #ship30for30
• Set reminders to tweet for streak challenges

Analytics

• Analytics for each tweet/thread
• Aggregated insights per month
• Additional insights like forecasting trajectory of follower growth, or engagement history of a tweet over time
• Real-time analytics like best time slots for tweets and engagement through the day, week, month, year
• Analysis like which tweet types/topics/themes did well, which one didn’t
• Open startup page but for Twitter accounts
• A/B test profile page to see which works best
• Alert you when high follower accounts follow you
• Insights into the type of followers I’m getting, recommendations on who to engage more with based on pre-determined goals/preferences
• Show who I engage with the most, in different levels
• Show how many followers I got from each tweet or reply
• Show conversions: how people funnel from a tweet to profile page to profile clicks

Swipe files, bookmarks

• Native categories of high performing tweets to reference when writing tweets, e.g. for me, writing, indie hacking, creator economy, marketing, startups, productivity
• Ability to add my own bookmarks (or even sync Twitter bookmarks) to the swipe file
• Classify or create my own collections or categories as swipe file subdirectories
• Make swipe files/collections public or private to share (like Spotify playlists)
• Set collections for Twitter hashtags which are communities/movements like #ship30for30
• AI-assisted/generated inspiration for tweets
• Search/See famous quotes as tweet inspiration
• Tweet templates where you fill in the blanks
• Show current trends on Twitter within your circle, that you can leverage on for a unique take for your niche (aka newsjacking)

Lists

• Import Twitter Lists over, or create own Lists
• Toggle on/off to show only original tweets on Lists, not replies, RTs
• Reply and engage directly on the Lists
• See past engagements with each account
• See top most popular tweets for each account, filter based on likes, impressions, replies, RTs
• Sort by chronological view or popular view
• DM to every account on List (like email newsletter or campaign)
• Join and manage Twitter Communities - tweet, reply
