Show HN: Stacker – The Easiest way to Publish and Reply on Social Media (opens in new tab)

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback, will be sure to forward this to our design team. For the moment please accept a link to our Press Packet that includes screenshots of the app https://s3.amazonaws.com/stacker_assets/press.zip

Agreed, I won't give a site access to my profiles without seeing some screenshots first.

Buffer is a great tool, however it only supports Publishing while Stacker supports both Publishing and Replying from one app.

I wrote a blog post on the core advantage we offer recently https://www.getstacker.com/blog/4/the-million-problem

Excellent feedback on the pricing! Right now our main focus is to grow our customer base.

This looks great!

I was thinking of something similar last year but much simpler. I just wanted a single place to check all incoming requests. Not even a complete inbox, just a place all the notifications could go.

Any plans to hook into WordPress at all? Comments, bbPress/BuddyPress replies/topics, etc? Will there be any kind of custom incoming/outgoing with feed and endpoints? Any plans for a native mobile app?

Thanks!

I don't have much to say, but your idea is something I also thought about a year ago when it comes to managing social media accounts and being able to publish posts simultaneously all on one platform. I'm happy to see that somebody also had the same train of thought and made it a reality.

A couple of questions;

1. Is there a desktop platform? 2. Any Add-on for Chrome?

Great work by the way.

Very nice! Would love a rest api for this.. Thanks,

You are absolutely right, the Inbox is Stacker's most used feature. We find users coming back multiple times a day to respond to incoming requests from their fans and followers.

We would be super happy if Google+ opened up their API. Its a great network, just needs to become more open!

Haha...super cool! Thanks for sharing

Stacker isin't so much of a "WUPHF" as it is a Central place for you to Publish and Reply across all your Social Media accounts at once.

Typically, if you are a brand that posts to multiple Social accounts, you then need to login to each account before you can Reply/Favorite/Like incoming messages from fans and followers.

And i don't know if it's relevant but i will be ready to pay around 50$ per month for such an app.

And some of my friends too (cm manager will be interested too).

Very interesting. I will be sure to forward that to our development team.

Thanks!

Yes absolutely! With Stacker you can post to.. * just your Personal Profile or * just your Business page or * to both your Personal and Business page(s) at the same time :)

Stacker is also the first Social Publishing tool that lets you create Photo Albums on the fly, which should be very helpful for pro photographers like yourself.

I'm happy to share. I'll do a blog post on this down the line, but here's the outline....

Node.JS at the core. Redis and AWS SimpleDB for the Database. Major caching at all levels (frontend/backend). Response times of less than 50ms for most calls. Web Sockets(SocketIO) for real time communications.

The frontend is built entirely in AngularJS with a few jQuery integrations. We write all our CSS in LESS and compile it using Grunt.

We used PHP (LAMP) for our last major Project and I can say that for what we are trying to achieve, NodeJS is much much much faster(10x) and leaner(we manage the same traffic with 20% of the server resources used on our last project with PHP)

Stacker has a very well featured Free-for-Life plan (everything that Circular offers and more)!

We love Circular, but it only posts to Twitter. Stacker posts to Facebook (Profiles/Pages/Groups), Twitter, LinkedIn (Profiles/Pages/Groups) and we are in the process of adding in many more networks.

With Stacker you also get a Universal Inbox that displays and lets you Like/Favorite/Reply-to incoming messages from across all your Social Media accounts in one place.

Yes, you can turn off link-shortening if you like. If you do choose that option, the only thing you wont see is the Click tracking under Reports.

Stacker also supports using your own Custom domain to shorten links. Drop me a note at chris@getstacker.com once you've signed up for an account and I'll be happy to help you set it up.

Yes you can! The Stacker Inbox does just that :)

Hi ljsocal, unfortunately we require every single permission we ask for in order to provide all the functionality we currently do. If its a specific permission you have issue with, I'm more than happy to elaborate on exactly why Stacker needs it.

You can rest assured that we encrypt all sensitive information before storing it in our databases.The security and privacy of our customers is our number One priority. The Only non essential field we ask for is your Date of Birth, and we only do that so that we can wish you on your special day.

Thanks so much!
