Indie developer brainstormity built Open Post, an open-source alternative to the $99/month Post Bridge that costs under $1/month to run, releasing on GitHub soon. Quoted post from fekdaoui (genviral) explains why self-hosting is rare: TikTok/YouTube hold posts until app audits pass, Meta demands business verification and screen-recorded login flows, plus edge cases like TikTok video IDs overflowing JavaScript integers, Instagram timeouts that still publish, and tokens that die permanently without refresh.
