FeedHive
AI-assisted writing, scheduling, recycling, analytics, and collaboration
The visible AI social scheduling loop is buildable, but a credible replacement needs more than the first screen. FeedHive earns its keep through platform APIs, distribution, so expect a weekend or multi-day build and a narrower personal scope.
Build verification: not recorded. How we judge buildability
What you give up
- analytics history and attribution
- team approvals and asset workflows
- protection from API and policy changes
- calendar-provider edge cases and timezone correctness
- reliable direct publishing across networks
Why people still pay
FeedHive: Social tools survive because networks change APIs, permissions, formats, and anti-spam rules constantly.
Your build guide
The stack, security requirements, and agent rules for a focused replacement.
Before you start
- Credentials and the required API access for one chosen network. Verify permissions and quotas; provide an export/manual-post workflow for unsupported networks.
- Implementation components: Node.js, TypeScript and Express with server-rendered HTML and small browser modules. SQLite through better-sqlite3 with migrations, prepared statements and a single background worker. One official platform API adapter with declared text/media capabilities and a persisted scheduled-post worker.
- Scope boundary: analytics history and attribution; team approvals and asset workflows
Use these project rules and optional skill references alongside the prompt. Review each skill before adding it to your agent; the AGENTS.md export includes the same guidance.
Optional external skill: sharp-edges — Review security-sensitive APIs and configuration for dangerous defaults and easy-to-misuse interfaces. Review its instructions and compatibility before use; it does not grant deployment, data-access or publication permission.
Optional external skill: web-design-guidelines — Review web interfaces for accessibility, keyboard focus, forms, navigation and interaction quality. Review its instructions and compatibility before use; it does not grant deployment, data-access or publication permission.
Optional external skill: copywriting — Write landing pages and product copy grounded in the intended audience, product value and a clear next action. Review its instructions and compatibility before use; it does not grant deployment, data-access or publication permission.
Project rule — data model: drafts, reusable content categories, platform variants, scheduled slots and reuse history
Project rule — preserve this invariant: Recycling is opt-in with a cooldown and explicit approved revision; unsupported platform analytics remain unavailable rather than zero.
Project rule — acceptance evidence: Cancel a recycled post and preserve its earlier publication receipt; changing a network limit flags queued variants before publication.
Implementation plan
Phase 1
Scope and fixtures. Implement this bounded workflow: Plan social content in a calendar, adapt a draft to one connected network and optionally reuse an evergreen post only after review. AI assistance produces suggestions beside the saved original. Record prerequisites, select representative user-owned fixtures and document the unsupported features: analytics history and attribution; team approvals and asset workflows
Phase 2
Durable model. Model drafts, reusable content categories, platform variants, scheduled slots and reuse history Add migrations or a versioned document format, explicit validation, stable IDs and a visible import-error report. Preserve this rule: Recycling is opt-in with a cooldown and explicit approved revision; unsupported platform analytics remain unavailable rather than zero.
Phase 3
Complete the first useful path. Implement the workflow's input, review and output interface, with clear controls and explicit empty/error states. Track each target independently with pending, publishing, delivered, failed and unknown states. Reconcile a timeout using provider receipts before retrying; respect rate-limit backoff.
Phase 4
Permissions and integration failure. Keep OAuth tokens server-side and encrypt persistent tokens with a separately managed key. Publication requires an explicit approved revision and target account. Request integration credentials and permissions only for the enabled feature; show a disconnected state instead of mock results.
Phase 5
Portable handoff. Use a consistent SQLite backup and an attachment manifest. Export portable JSON/CSV, then restore to a new directory without overwriting the original data. Include setup, operating limits, fixture walkthrough and shutdown/restart instructions in the README.
Phase 6
Acceptance scenarios. Cancel a recycled post and preserve its earlier publication receipt; changing a network limit flags queued variants before publication. Repeat the workflow after restart and with a denied permission or unavailable dependency; show recoverable failure rather than a success placeholder.

Questions about FeedHive
Can you build your own FeedHive with AI?
Partly. The visible AI social scheduling loop is buildable, but a credible replacement needs more than the first screen. FeedHive earns its keep through platform APIs, distribution, so expect a weekend or multi-day build and a narrower personal scope.
What does the FeedHive build prompt cover?
The prompt starts with this scope: Plan social content in a calendar, adapt a draft to one connected network and optionally reuse an evergreen post only after review. AI assistance produces suggestions beside the saved original. Full-product capabilities excluded from the comparison include: analytics history and attribution; team approvals and asset workflows; protection from API and policy changes. Follow the implementation plan and its prerequisites before expanding the build.
How do I use the prompt, AGENTS.md and agent skills?
Start with the FeedHive prerequisites and stack, then copy the prompt into your coding agent. Save the project rules as AGENTS.md in the project root. Linked skills are optional packages or source instructions for specific tasks; review their current contents and install only those matching the chosen stack. A skill does not supply API credentials or verify the finished app.
How long will this FeedHive project take?
The catalogue estimate is multi-day for the limited scope. Setup, integration approvals, debugging, deployment and ongoing maintenance can add time. This is an estimate, not a delivery guarantee.
What would I give up by replacing FeedHive?
analytics history and attribution; team approvals and asset workflows; protection from API and policy changes; calendar-provider edge cases and timezone correctness; reliable direct publishing across networks. FeedHive: Social tools survive because networks change APIs, permissions, formats, and anti-spam rules constantly.
What price is this guide comparing against?
The recorded Brand plan is $33.45/mo (monthly), checked 2026-08-14. Check the linked pricing source before buying. Building your own also has hosting, API and maintenance costs; the recorded amount is not a guaranteed saving.
What can I use instead of building FeedHive?
The prior-art section lists Postiz, Mixpost as starting points. Review their current scope, license and maintenance before adopting one.
