How it works

From URL to published post

01

Paste a URL

Drop in any link — a blog post, a tool you found, a GitHub repo, an article worth sharing. ShipPost scrapes the content automatically.

02

Add your angle

Optionally add context: why you're sharing this, what stood out to you, or who should read it. This turns a generic share into a personal recommendation.

03

Generate posts

ShipPost reads the page content and your angle, then generates multiple post variations — one set for LinkedIn, another for X.

04

Copy and share

Pick the variation you like, edit if you want, and post it. A genuine recommendation in under a minute.

Examples

What good link-sharing looks like

Share a tool you're using

"Been using Cursor for two weeks. The AI autocomplete is legitimately good — caught three bugs in my last PR before I even ran tests. Worth trying if you write TypeScript."

Comment on an article

"This deep-dive on database indexing strategies just saved me 4 hours of debugging. If your Postgres queries are slow and you're guessing about indexes, start here."

Recommend a repo

"Found this OSS project that generates type-safe API clients from OpenAPI specs. Replaced our hand-written fetch wrappers with zero runtime overhead. Repo link in comments."

Notice the pattern? Specific, opinionated, and useful. That's what ShipPost aims for.

Good sharing vs. bad sharing

Generic share

"Check out this amazing article on microservices! Great read for anyone in tech. #microservices #software #engineering #devops #cloudnative"

ShipPost version

"We migrated from microservices to a modular monolith last quarter. This article explains exactly why — the deployment complexity was costing us 2 engineers worth of time per sprint just on infra.

The section on shared database schemas hits different when you've lived through a distributed data migration at 3am."

FAQ

Common questions

What kinds of URLs work with ShipPost? +

Pretty much anything with readable content — blog posts, documentation pages, GitHub repos, product pages, news articles, and tool landing pages. ShipPost scrapes the page content and uses it as context for generating your post.

Can I add my own angle before generating? +

Yes. You can add context about why you're sharing the link, your opinion on it, or what your audience should pay attention to. This makes the output more personal and less like a generic summary.

Does it generate posts for both LinkedIn and X? +

Yes. ShipPost generates variations optimized for each platform — longer narrative formats for LinkedIn and shorter, punchier formats for X/Twitter. Different tone, different length, same source material.

How is this different from just asking ChatGPT to write a post about a URL? +

ShipPost uses hand-tuned, platform-specific system prompts designed to avoid the typical AI-generated post feel. It's optimized for one thing — social posts for developers — rather than being a general-purpose assistant trying to do everything.

Is the URL content stored? +

The scraped content is used only during generation and is not permanently stored. Your generated posts are saved to your history so you can revisit them, but the raw scraped HTML is discarded.
