I think this is great, outside of plastering Buffer's name all over the thing. Seems kinda shitty to do. Open source tweet scheduler? Awesome. Slapping Buffer all over the thing to shimmy into their Google juice (or whatever) to promote it? Not as awesome.



I get your point. It was actually more of a "nod of the head" to them, but I can see why it would look unelegant. I've actually started pitching it as open source tweet scheduler, actually.


I agree. If you truly want to pay homage, perhaps wording like "inspired by Buffer" would work a little better.

Nonetheless, congrats on shipping, can't wait to check it out.


It actually says "Inspired by Buffer" on the homepage, with a link to Buffer :)
