I post across about a dozen networks, and the post body was the friction point. Send the same text everywhere and it reads lazy (and gets throttled as near-duplicate). Rewrite each one by hand and you're writing the same idea five times before 9am.
So I built a base-plus-override composer. You write the post once on an "All" tab. That base text auto-fills every connected platform. Each platform then has its own tab where you tweak only that version: trim for X's 280, use Bluesky's longer limit, add hashtags on Threads. Every tab shows its own live character count, and a Reset button reverts a tab to the base if you overdo it.
The win is that you edit where it matters and leave the rest on the base, instead of a blank box per platform. Most posts I change one or two tabs and let the others ride.
