The tragedy of cross posting across multiple social networks is that most don’t bother to give proper attribution to the appropriate accounts on each network.

@zachleat I was wondering if Croissant accounted for this. Cc @BenRiceM?

[luis_in_brief@social.coop]

@janl @zachleat @BenRiceM does not, as far as I’ve seen. Hard problem but it’d absolutely justify Croissant’s cost if it does get solved.

[janl@narrativ.es]

@luis_in_brief @zachleat @BenRiceM I think the cost is already justified. It’d be a neat feature tho.

[benricem@mastodon.social]

@janl @luis_in_brief @zachleat we have a pretty good solution for this coming soon!

[zachleat@fediverse.zachleat.com]

@luis_in_brief @janl @BenRiceM I don’t know how much coverage there would be but I’d settle for self-declared `rel=me` tags via personal web sites at this point

[luis_in_brief@social.coop]

@janl @zachleat @BenRiceM I like paying for software, and am paying for Croissant, but… meh? It’s very polished for what it does but also pretty expensive for just posting.

[zachleat@fediverse.zachleat.com]

@BenRiceM @janl @luis_in_brief Amazing, TIL about Croissant—I’ll check it out thanks y’all!

[zachleat@fediverse.zachleat.com]

@luis_in_brief @janl @BenRiceM it’s pretty rude to complain about price on a thread with the original author…

‎Croissant - Cross-Posting

It's a social network explosion! And you can now post to all of them in one app.  Croissant solves that oh-so-2024 problem of wanting to post to all these grea…

App Store (apps.apple.com)

@zachleat @janl @BenRiceM fair!

Let me phrase it more constructively: coming from someone who really appreciates high-quality software, pays for a lot of it, and literally works all day (when not poasting) to support solo software developers: the price, given the important *but limited* functionality, feels too high and will be hard to justify in the market going forward. As someone who wants you to succeed, I suspect you either need to improve the feature set or lower the price.

@luis_in_brief @janl @BenRiceM to be clear—this service costs $3 a month, no? I’m currently using Buffer, which costs $5 per channel per month

@zachleat @luis_in_brief @janl @BenRiceM Croissant costs $1.67 a month. Highway robbery!
